Eric, are you using a monopod, or other support? Focus Magic helps,
in a pinch, but I find it can really only cure the most minor of motion.

Up close and personal is the only way to go with birds. The beasts
are so small that 20 to 30 feet is a maximum shooting distance, even
with a 400 and 2x converter.

When your budget recovers, consider a 2x converter. Although they
don't like shorter, or very fast lenses, they work well from 200mm+. I took

and

with the 80~200 Vario Elmar and 2x converter. Your Angenieux should
do as well!

Of these, I liked your "Canada Honkers" (as they're locally called)
with their babies, the best. A nice, family grouping! :-) Here,
there are no babies yet in sight, though we expect them in the next week or so.
Keep working at it. You've got a good eye and a good lens. A little
patience, and a little more reach, will do wonders!
Cheers!
