Excellent lens. If your thinking about it just do it. Its extremely flexible and whilst not a small lens it is a lens you can easily walk around with for hours. In this sort of price/size range your options are 300F4L IS, 400 5.6L,70-300L IS and 100-400LIS.
Pros:

Excellent lens for distance photos
The Canon 100-400mm lens has been great for shooting photos at a distance while still having flexibility to pull in to 100mm. Although a 400mm f/5.6 prime or a 400mm f/4 will probably take better photos, the versatility and price of this lens are much more reasonable for an all-around hobbyist like...

Very nice images.
There is a problem with this lens and that is it will not match all cameras unless you are lucky. What I mean by this is you may have to adjust your cameras micro adjustment to get the best out of it.

My first "L" lens and wont be my last! Fast, precise and quiet auto focus. Love the two mode stabilizer to use with still or action shots. Use this also in bird photography, works wonderful!

- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lens hood included

I WOULD DEFINITELY BUY THIS LENS FOR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY!
This is a great lens with a near perfect reach for shooting most wildlife photography, at least for my needs. You will have to get used to the push/pull zoom style as opposed to the standard turn zoom but thats an easy adjustment to make. Enjoy the lens if you buy one!

Expensive but worth it!
If it were lightweight, one can shoot for hours handheld. The push/pull zooming adjustment needs getting used-to. With a teleconverter attached, auto-focus is slow and it tended to "look" for the subject, thus, losing the shot of fast-moving birds like the wren.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Handheld Shooting
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Expensive
- Heavy
- Lens Creep
- Slow Focus Wteleconverte
