New Canon 500 f/4 L IS II USM-Test shots

I recently got the 500 II lens & use it on the 7D. I debated over this and the 300 II + TC's but ended up getting this one as my primary interest is birds and wildlife. I have been handholding it without a problem for short periods of time. The IS is amazing, allowing me to handhold to 1/30thof a second. IQ is superb. After handholding it, the 100-400 L feels "light"!!!

Here are some test shots:
