Thank you all so much for these suggestions. I am clearly spoilt for choice here, never a bad problem to have. I tried out the 100-400 in the camera store nearby, oh man, its just awesome! So, I think its between the 70-300 and 100-400. Somehow, I don't like the idea of a teleconverter.

Another quick question. My little brother has a 7D, and i want to gift him a couple lenses. He is learning landscape photography. So, I was checking out the EF-S 10-18 F/4.5-5.6 and the EF-S 10-22 F/3.5-4.5. Any thoughts on the non-L lenses for the 7D at all? I really appreciate your advice.

For an UWA lens on an APS-C sensor (like the 7d), you definitely don't need to worry about it not being an L lens.  All L lenses are EF lenses, and are made to fit both full frame and crop sensors.  This means that it is harder to make them as wide as like a 10mm EF-S lens.

I haven't used it, but I have heard really great things about the newer 10-18mm STM lens.  The 10-22mm is a good lens too, but is more expensive and doesn't have IS.  The STM is a little slower though.  If I were buying one right now for a crop camera, I would go for the 10-18mm stm.
