Bill,
This photo was taken this past Sunday near Long Point, Ontario.
Long Point is on the shore of Lake Erie and has a wildlife refuge including a large marsh where a population of hardy Sandhill Cranes remain over winter.
These cranes may be a couple of the winter population feeding in a cornfield.
The refuge was very active with Sandhill Cranes, Redwing Blackbirds returning and migrating Tundra Swans.

Agree with Bill, those have turned out lovely.
I also struggle with black/darker birds at times. Think you have to be willing sometimes to somewhat throw away the background with Exposure compensation - and/or use selective tools in editing to accentuate the dark details and brighten without going too grey. Global adjustments can lead to the whole image getting over-brightened.

I am unsure if this link will work... https://cameraderie.org/attachments/p1070650crp1-jpg.525099/
It's a nicer looking version of the Blue Faced Honey eater below. I think it may have never seen bread before. It did eat some.

It's one of the harder subjects to expose well, wait until you try and get a Razorbills eye to show 😃 These are great though Harry.

I love birds / animals that have this sort of iridescence. I am always on the lookout for it...

A duck out of water is well,... a duck. This one is our backyard resident duck who has decided to spend his time under the bird feeder where the deer and the squirrels dump food on his head most of the day. Here he goes for a leisurely stroll to burn off some birdseed calories.
