Certainly, things will improve with better lighting.  IQ looks good though.

Consider how sharp you want the outside edge to look.  Depending on the image's usage, you may want it very sharp (like the "cutout" look it currently has), or you (ala the client) may want it a bit softer.  I'd recommend keeping a version of each.

I went to maine, took a ferry to an island that was known to have some... nothing all day. I got a great shot of a bald sparrow. Meanwhile my buddy goes fishing on the androscoggin and is watching them swoop and catch fish all day.

Yup that's how it goes!!!  I've been fishing and had them swoop right between our boats (50 feet apart)!  Other times I've driven for hours someplace and been blanked.

But for birding (exclusively), the 400 is still king IMHO.

Good enough for me then. It's on my list for sure. I keep hoping a used one will come up under a grand. (999.99 doesn't count)

The copies have generally shown very little variation over the years (high IQ all-round), so chances are good you'd find a good used one.

Sold! Just to be safe, is this the thing I want to buy?

It will fit my Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens?

Yes and Yes.

Good luck,
