Re: Canon ef 70-300 IS L for bird photography?

I bought it for tennis and have used it for birding.  I like the light weight and am happy with many of the shots I've gotten.  Certainly a compromise.  The Osprey is from a ridiculous distance and highly cropped.  I'd rather have that than nothing as a memory from the trip.
