Just planning to purchase a lens for my D20 to take general bird photo.  
I'd like to know which of the below sitting is better for mid-range photo.
a.) 400mm f/5.6 or
b.) 300mm f/4 + 1.4x extender
 
Could any photographer help me in this way?
 
Gary

If your prime subject is birds I'd go for the EF400/5.6L to start with. It's a great lens for bird in flight shooting renowned for its fast AF acqusition too .

Though I am using 300/4 coupled with 1.4X, I agree 400/5.6 is a good start for bird photograhpy.
