You did the best with what you had, which of course is better than nothing at all. The raptors are starting to migrate out here, so I usually carry two bodies as well. I either have the 400 prime or the 100-400 on my 1D, and something smaller on my 5D or 7D.
The second and third pics do a great job of showing the birds in their environment. Even with the 400 I often have to settle for that type of shot as I'm often just too far away. My new chair should help with that, but I am also anxious to see what Sigma is going to offer in a 500 or 600 prime as rumored to be coming out, that might cost a bit less than a car, and still have great image quality.
