Thats what I do, I see a bird in flight or taking off/coming in to land, attempt to center it, let auto-focus do its thing. and snap as many pics as I can in the process.
Birds are one of the only subjects that never make the photographer think "Gee I wish I had a shorter lens..." I've imaged birds at 700mm using my 500mm + 1.4TC and have still wished I could get a bit closer in...
The 400mm that Dennis is using is a sensational bird/wild-life lens, and usually overlooked as people assume due to its low (relative) price, that it wont perform like the more costly L lenses... they are disgustingly accurate on auto-focus, lightning fast when focus limited and not bulky enough for it to ever be excluded from your camera bag...
I bet Dennis, like myself, wishes it and the 70-200 would merge together and become a 600mm f/4
