I really hadn't thought of that before.
Here's another shot from inside. The Steller's Sea Eagle. A very impressive bird:

Super portrait of the sea eagle. It looks like it's snowing which makes a really special captive shot.
If you owned a 7D, I might agree about using a crop-sensor vs. the 5D2. The 40D's processor and pixels aren't up to competing with the IQ of the 5D2, even when the image is cropped down to the same subject size as the 40D.
The 7D has a smaller pixel-pitch, slightly better AF and 8-fps vs. the 5D2, but, except for the 8-fps, all that stuff is very close, making which one to use pretty much a toss up for things that aren't moving fast.
