while canon 300 is a fine lens but i would not recommend it for wild life and birding because it doesn't meet the minimum length for that sort of photog.

again, while your canon 70-200 f4.0 non IS is a superb lens and produces some awesome files, it is not even qualifies for wild life lens. keep it for everyday shooting!

if budget is tight, you could find a nice canon 400 f5.6 prime at a very reasonable price online! i have this prime and have taken some of my most beautiful bird shots with it. although you need good afternoon sunlight to make this lens shine!since now i have the big canon primes, i haven't used my 400 f5.6 in long while but won't hesitate to reach for it at any moment if it is near me! when the light condition is favorite, the photos taken with 400 f5.6 can rival any canon white prime, IMO. here is an example:

good luck finding your lens
