In the first shot, the corners seem abnormally dark. Is this from the lens?

The last shot rocks. The exposure, focus and detail are fantastic.

On the first shot since the background and the bird are both light colored I applied a slight vignette (using Lightroom) to it to focus attention on the bird.

Man, I hope you got some kind of warranty with that thing. 150 & 500 are fine, but in between, the distortion makes it look like a whole different animal.
