Excellent work. Both images are great with #2 being my pick. That's a tough lens to beat for inflight shooting. Congrats.

Really nice shots! I have been pondering a 400 but can't make up my mind on the F5/6 or the F4 DO IS.

Sonic, what was your prior birding lens? I am on the fence with the 400 5.6 I currently use the 100-400 and I am finding that it is just not quite adequate for BIF.

Nice shots! I am looking at getting a longer lens. Currently I have the 70-200 2.8, but it just does not give me the reach I want. I have been looking at the 400 5.6 and the 100-400. Still not sure...
