The Canon 400mm f/5.6 is the first L series lens I purchased. ... If you are thinking about getting the Canon 100-400mm L II, I'd say go for it. It's really a nice birding lens, and I am quite certain you would love it. Both the above mentioned lenses are excellent...both are tack sharp. The zoom lens is twice the cost of the prime lens, and heavier, but definitely more versatile in various situations. If you are trying to choose between the two, and the cost is not a problem, then go with the 100-400. That's just my opinion.

Thanks so much for the detailed reply Lame-Duck. Certainly gives me more to think about before making a decision.
