Photo of Seeing Nature through the eye of a 500mm lens...Pt. 2

Here's a photo of the Grackle (last one at 1000mm). As you can see I could not get the entire bird in the frame. Using a 2x close up can be tricky since I can only use the center AF point because with the 2x the 500 lens becomes an f8 lens and as a result only the center AF point is available. All in all I like the 2x but I don't think my keeper rate will be as high as those from the 1.4 tc.
