It's not so much the camera as it is the lens(s) you use. But we do have to ask, what do you mean by "outdoor photography?" Can you be more specific? That way we can more directly answer your question, as there are several types of outdoor photography.

*50 is a great camera. For Birds In Flight, D500 with Nikon 200-500

Either one. It's how the photographer uses the camera. That statement excludes cell phones and some remedial point and shoots. But, you didn't ask about those.

The best camera of any brand or model is THE ONE YOU HAVE WITH YOU!

Kinda hard to pick a "clear winner" at this point, since the Z7 has only been available half a year. And "Outdoor photography" doesn't really narrow it down very much. If you truly want "considered opinions", you may want to give more information as per what you actually want to shoot.

Jaki, I gotta go with Kmgw9v. I shoot exactly the same subjects that you want to and the D850 is the most amazing camera for those subjects I have ever had.

Any of the cameras you mentioned should serve you well although I have to admit I have no experience with the AF of the Nikon Z7 for wildlife photography.

The best Nikon is the one you have in your hands.
That said, one main advantage of mirrorless camera's is the fact that what you see in the viewfinder is what you get in the final image (exposure wise). It is a real advantage if your finicky about your correct exposures.
