I recently had the chance to play with a Canon 400mm f/2.8 L lens, courtesy of Chris. It's a behemoth with about an acre of glass at the front!
This shot isn't from that lens though, this is shot with a "home brew" 400mm - my 200mm with an old store brand 2x converter. Obviously the images from this combination can't compete with the sheer gorgeosity of the 400mm prime but I think it does ok, this image is pretty much straight out of the camera.

That is amazing. What prompted you to switch lenses?

You could try your new set up on a serious birding excursion. It's kind of a waste to have lens power and *not* shoot cute birds... : )
(Not complaining, honest, because your sparrow pics were something grand, but I'd so like to see some out-of-the-city bird pics)
You could pretend one weekend that you like nature photography :D
