Crows, all black is a challenge

More Experimenting with the Tamron 150-600 G2
All one color has problems of its own. And with birds that is esp true of all white or all black.
These crows were part of a murder that came in, cleaned out most of the peanuts and then left.
The first one is on my retaining wall at about 70-75 feet, in shade just to make the black feathers even more of a challenge. I used flash and even though the surroundings were over exposed the crow still came out black. I corrected most of the over exposure in PP.
The second was about 15 feet closer but otherwise things were the same.
#1 5DIV, Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 600, 1/200 @ f/8.0, ISO 800 with flash off tripod at 75', center point AF and partial center weighted exposure.
#2 all the same except distance about 60'
