That is what I thought... I guess if a bird was in a tree under heavy overhead shade on a bright day, you would still need to use a higher ISO (800-1600 or higher) and use a low shutter speed shot (1/250th - /125 sec or slower) at f/6.3 or f/8.0 with a 600mm setting to obtain a proper exposure, more or less... and still might have AF focus problems... best guess...
Also, isn't the Canon a faster lens...
yes, the canon is a faster lens. 4.5-5.6 which I have had many years to practice with it. and I only used the Tamron for about 30 min. so I'm sure I will learn how to get the most out of it.
