I'm not much of a bird shooter either and just went to Zion National Park and happen to spot not one but TWO condors! As I mostly shoot landscape I only took my EF70-200/f4 with a 1.4 extender and so wished I'd have something longer! I might go for the Rf600 just to have something long for those rare occasions and it's affordable. This shot was taken at about 1000-1200 feet distance so it's pretty crappy but I think it's decent considering the distance. Those condors have such a huge wingspan at around 3 meters, amazing and rare birds. Not sure if I had switched the IS over to setting #2 (panning), was so excited so didn't think about other settings, wasn't sure how long I'd have them in my EVF.

I like the perspective of the scene mixed in with these wonderful birds.

would suggest next time taking your iso and ss much higher
