Real World Test of Canon's 400mm 2.8 IS II Lens for Bird Photography. Does It Take Great Shots?

Join me as I put the Canon 400 2.8 through its paces photographing waterfowl at a local lake. I use a Canon 5d Mark IV and a very old Canon 40D along with a 2x converter. I had a wonderful time in the mud and managed to capture some lovely photos. Let me know in the comments which was your favourite.
