The 7D is highly recommended by many birders, who also highly recommend the 500mm f/4. The combination gives some really stunning images that I have seen. Hopefully a 7D II will come out at some point in the near future (though nobody has heard a peep about this from Canon!) and that would be basically the ideal camera for birding, given that the image quality is bound to improve while retaining the crop factor.

Both the 7D and 1D IV will perform admirably, and neither will let you down. It's a matter of weighing up the other factors that come with the cameras.
