What camera are you shooting?
I've got a Canon 60D with their 100-400mm lens. The lens is a favorite of wildlife photographers and I see why.

Do you use a tripod with that? I want to get a lens with greater range, but with the type of birding I do, I really need a handheld.
Dont' know if you remember the picture, but on the scenary thread you posted a sparrow. I compared it with the sparrows in 2 birding books, and still couldn't come up with an ID. Without seeing the breast feathers made it harder. Finally, I just gave up!!
No, I don't use a tripod but I did buy a monopod. I have not used the monopod yet but really need to. Mostly I compensate for instability by shooting a lot of pictures and then deleting most of them. That and using a photo editor to sharpen the image some.
My guess is the sparrow you have in mind is this Fox Sparrow. There are a lot of them in the northwest and Alaska. A few show up in the south in the winter.
