Canon RF 100-500 vs EF 100-400 II | Is it WORTH UPGRADING to the RF 100-500? Bird Photography Review

Canon EF 100-400 II, one of the most popular bird photography zooms, vs the new RF 100-500, a fantastic superzoom! Will it be worth upgrading to the new RF lens if you already own the 100-400 and can adapt it easily to an R5 or R6?
How do both of these lenses perform side by side in the field? That's what I will explore in this video.
What's your experience with these lenses? Do you own any of them, have you switched over from the EF 100-400 II to the RF 100-500? Let me know in the comments!
