I've been using the 80-200 for birding, but it's a little short for the job, even with the Kenko 1.4x teleconverter.
I left it off today, since I was shooting shorebirds, but they stayed out of range, and I only managed to catch one
shot of a bird in flight.
I was about to leave when I spotted some mammals... a brother and sister enjoying nature. The 80-200
allowed me to take some candids from a respectable distance without disturbing them.

As a sidenote, there was a little kid intently watching the interplay between the two siblings. He was with
his grandpa, and clearly envied their companionship. I think he felt a little sad that his parents hadn't given
him a little brother or sister to play with.
