I had been using a D300 with a AF-S 300 F4 lens for a couple of years. I recently switched to a Nikon V1, FT-1, and the 300 F4 lens. The new combination produces much better images from ISO 100-400. With the V1, the 300 F4 lens is 820mm equivalent.
It's a myth that long glass is needed for birding. Here's one taken with a very short glass:
D70. Nik 50/F1.8
and here's one with even shorter glass:
D300. Nik 18-35mm
The Nik 50mm is excellent when the birds come close to you:
D70. Nik 50mm.

Yes, we like your birdie shots, but no, it's not a myth. Your lenses would not work for the kind of shooting I do. At all.
