I rented a massive $2,000 Fuji lens for the April 8 eclipse, and after testing it a little around my house decided to go see if I could find some birds while I had it. This is the longest lens I've ever used on a high quality camera, roughly 225-900mm equivalent. I had a blast chasing birds at a wildlife preserve about 30 minutes away and came back with some exquisite shots. I had so much fun with this lens that I will be getting my own to use in the future, though a bit lower cost model, used and a little faster.
