Tradscot, you already have a pretty good range covered, and with some overlap. By nature, do you mean birds? For birds you are never going to be long enough. Panos actually are pretty different.
If your doing only birds, look at the Canon 400 prime.
If a combo of birds and bigger animals, I would look at the Canon 100-400.
The zoom will also take a 1.4x well if you tape the pins.
Look at a site called JuzaPhoto. He does a lot of comparisons between Sigmas and Canons.
For versatality, the 100-400 is the best choice, but also the most money.
Personally I've never used a Sigma, and of the tons I've read about them, not likely I ever will. Do your research. "The-digital-picture" also does VERY indepth testing and has a comparison feature. Look closely at the empirical
data. Better than taking my word for it.
Good luck

Thanks for the links, JuzaPhoto spells it out very well! Not much between any of them really. I hope to get to the Badlands Rendevous next year and the Sigma may just leave me enough for gas money!! Appreciate your input.
