From what we hear around here (and also on photo.net), you might be happy
with the Kenko Pro-300 1.4 TC.
This will give you 420mm, which is not too bad for birds.
I have the 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS and I use it with the new Canon 1.4 TC for
birds, which gives me 560mm, and I sometimes wish I had the 2x TC (800mm),
but then quality would suffer.

Thanks Pierre....a few newbie type questions...
You recommend the 1.4x, is the reason you didn't recommend the 2x because of
image quality with a teleconverter or because of loss of lens speed? I
vaguely remember reading somewhere that autofocus will not work properly at
some minimum f stop....does this issue become involved?
Along the same lines, with the teleconverter, will the Elan 7 still maintain
TTL metering etc?
Is a TC plus the 100-300 lens too much for the Elan 7 body without a tripod
collar?
Does one still use the same lens hood with the teleconvereter in place?
Thanks.
