Very good images. Your new lens has enough reach if wildlife photography is a priority in your shootings.

A monopod can be handy to support the weight while you concentrate on shooting. I've seen much sharper images others have done here with that lens, so keep at it, you will know when you've got the right equipment.
I have a monopod set up for a heavy lens but the problem I have is keeping the monopod from drifting front to back. Any solution for that?

Use every source of support you can. Again walls, fences, against trees, on top of the car hood or car open door frame , sitting down, using a pistol grip to lean against your chest, etc. I don't think this will be a hiking lens so there will often be objects that you can use. You will get use to it.

Good shots, Vince. Handheld doesn't mean you can't brace your self and/or your gear. I always use a brace if possible. Even sitting down and bracing on my knees. A fitness routine specifically targeting the areas used in hand holding work wonders too. It doesn't have be particularly vigorous. 15 minutes morning and evening EVERY DAY. Work with the camera and lens you use and develop your shoulders and arms. Work on your stance too. Feet comfortably apart at shoulder width. I sometimes carry my monopod and practice with it regularly. If it won't hold your camera and lens steady without drooping you don't have a big enough/heavy-duty enough head.
You will be surprised how much steadier you are if you just brace yourself rather than your gear. I tend to wobble a bit if I close one eye while standing, I do much better if I can rest my butt against the side of my car, a tree trunk, a rock etc.

Thanks you William. It is something I have wanted to try... my longest lens prior to getting this was my Nikon 24-120mm.

Thank you for commenting and your suggestions. I did use a tree to lean on the other day, and for the squirrel photo I sat and had my knees up and had my elbows on them, which I think helped with those photos.
Your right though, I don't think I will be hiking with this camera/lens combo very often, not very long ones anyway.
