I too hope to add a 500 or 600mm to the arsenal one day.  However, it is not the be-all to bird images.  Since I use a 300mm and a 1.4TC, stalking a bird is my biggest ally.  I am lucky we have areas that birds frequent all the time so I can learn where they feed, get used to their habits, and eventually, get a half decent image.   There is always a bird or two who doesn't mind me hanging around, allowing for some great opportunities for an image.Last year, it was the Great Blue Heron, this year, I am having more luck with Egrets and Night Herons.  I have also learned to be more patient this year, which I think is vital to being a good nature photographer.  Regardless, I am looking forward to some longer glass and a portable blind to make things a little easier!</blockquote>
