while a nice prime, it is a bit short though--you might stick a canon 1.4x III or 2.0x III on it all the time, however, it is very handhold-able congrats on your new expensive toy, happy zooming.

I find the 500 the perfect length for birding. Sure the 600 is nice and a little longer, but its a pain to travel with. Not to mention... you'll inevitably want even more lens at some point. The best fix to that problem, once you find an adequate focal length, is better fieldcraft. Figuring out how to get closer is an art and can be incredibly frustrating... but it can also be equally rewarding when it all comes together.
