If you want an inexpensive telephoto zoom lens look for a Canon 55-250mm lens. I used that for a very long time before I got my Tamron 150-600mm lens. But I still use the Canon 55-250mm lens if I don't need more than 250mm FL and because it's very lightweight.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm considering that one. What do you think about this lens? Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom LensThe downside is it has no image stabilization.

I would not recommend that lens.  The newer EF 70-300 II NanoUSM is quite good for about $550 new.
