Joel, your bird photos are amazing and always a joy to view!

The weather here has been cold and very rainy so this is the best I could do from my window ...

To support Brian's praise of the 55-250STM, here's a shot I grabbed of a pelican zooming along the surface of the water alongside the cruise ship we were recently on. This is a serious crop and one frame of many sharp frames taken with the 55-250STM on an SL1 and shooting AI Servo. That combo actually makes a decent, lightweight birding rig.
