Do you mean 'birds in flight' shots ?? The 7d's focusing system is the better of these two. The 7d has 19 focus points all crosshair ( ie each focus point focuses on the horizontal and vertical planes ) against the 60d's 9 focus points ( which I think are all crosshair type )
Also, 8 fps v 5.3 fps may make the difference between getting a shot in perfect focus or not..... If you can afford the 7d, then its generally considered one of the best nature photography cameras out there ( outside 1 series of course ) As you have the 40d you will also then, benefit from having MA on you lens too.
