You can also look at the Nikon 80-400 or Sigma 150-500. The Sigma gets mixed reviews, seems like there are some good lenses and bad ones so you may need to return a lens to get a satisfactory one.

Used Nikon 80-400VR lenses look to be in the 1100-1300 range, the sigma new is $1000.

For casual use you'd be fine with either of these. For serious birding, wildlife the fixed 400 with a 1.4 or 1.7 tele is needed. Or even the 500mm or 600mm.
