Very nice set - which bird of prey centre were you at? I have the same lens and camera set up as you (I also have the 2xTC) and would love to have a go at taking some shots of those fine birds.
I think 6 and 8 are my favourites

Very nice work indeed, numbers 3, 4 and 6 for me
Really like number 8 also but for me the grass, twig that is on it's breast out of focus is just a tad too distracting, but a damn fine shot nonetheless.

Are 3 and 4 with the extender on by any chance? 1 and 2 look super-sharp but 3 and 4 look a tad soft.
Just asking as I'm going to get one of those lenses myself.
Super pics though - I really like #1

Wonderful shots all of them, but I would have to say that my personal favorites are 6 and 8. That sigma looks as if it was a very good buy indeed.

Super pics though - I really like #1 | 1 is with the extender on, 2-3-4 are just the lens, none of them have been sharpened or photoshopped though a couple have been cropped
