Love the loon pic (and the one preceeding it in your gallery). There's usually a nesting pair of loons near the cottage we rent in New Hampshire; you're really lucky to have such a tame one.
I rise in defense of the 50-200. The corners are soft wide-open. But, it's -very- light in weight, otherwise sharp, and easily portable. It goes with me when I hike or take long walks, and the 80-320 did not. One more reason I rather like APS-C.
