Awesome! It is so hard to get the light to hit a crow correctly enough to get a good picture. You certainly had all the right elements in place to capture this one.

That's a great shot of a tough subject! I've yet to get a good crow picture.
Thanks Andy
Thanks Robin
These were from a clear day last week, during lunch break. No birds to be seen on my normal route, so I stopped the car next to a creek and was admiring the blooms of a Bradford Pear Tree (I think?). While watching the blooms move gently in the breeze, I noticed some additional movement - that of bees starting their pollination exercise.
I was across the creek, roughly 30 feet from the tree, so I grabbed a 1.4x TC from my console an inserted it between my Baby Z (Z50) & 500PF & figured, WT*... Let's see if I can capture a bee from such a distance.
Z50, 500PF + 1.4x TCIII, 700mm, 1/1000, F8, ISO 160
Z50, 500PF + 1.4x TCIII, 700mm, 1/800, F8, ISO 200
Z50, 500PF + 1.4x TCIII, 700mm, 1/800, F8, ISO 160

Experiment with non-Nikon Z lens
These shots were taken using a cheap ($109), manual focus, Meike 50mm f/1.7 Z mount lens using "peaking" to determine focus. I've never before used a fully manual lens or "peaking" but I thought it would be an interesting exercise. Images aren't great but that may have more to do with my inexperience than with the lens itself. OTOH, they say you get what you pay for and I didn't pay a lot.
