The focus system on the D7000 slays the 5D MKII and the 7D for that sort of work. I can't comment on the 1D MK IV as I don't have one. I regularly use the other 3 though and the Nikon focus system leaves the others in the dust.
I am eagerly awaiting the next round of cameras from both Nikon and Canon though, both are overdue for a new full-frame model release, and both should be something pretty special.

Thank you Peter,for your very informed view point,I appreciate it.
If Nikon had a version of the Canon 400 F5.6 L lens,at a similar sort of price,I'd sell all my gear and astro
gear by a Nikon body and their 400 lens,and forget astro and just do birding,I like it most of all,and make
good money from it.But I think the only Nikon 400 Lens is a F 2.8,which is rather expensive!,and also very
large-it would be more awkward to take into the remote locations I go to,and wield about.The Canon 400L
is such a light niffty little lens for my nature trips.
(Yes,I know H,camera gear does'nt make one a better photographer,but I do know I have lost the very odd
shot from slow AF of the 50D,and eventually after going along the path way of photography for many years
we and some point look at specialising,and have some knowledge on what we are doing)
