A few of your long Nikon choices for the D7000 and wildlife would be:
70-300mm VR excellent lens on that camera, very, very affordable these days on the used market. Just slow and a variable aperture. When it works, it works great. You can buy used between $250 - $350 (perfect). Cannot use a Nikon teleconverter with it however...
70-200mm VR1 and carry a teleconverter with, either 1.4tc or 1.7tc Fantastic lens, will set you back around $1,200 or so. A teleconverter another $250 - $350
70-200 f/4 AF-S VR. Don't know much about it, people say they like it.
300mm f/4 AF-S. Old version. Even better lens when devoted to wildlife. Downside is no VR. But fixed aperture.. Used, around $850 - $950 (perfect)
300mm f/4E PF ED VR. New around $2,000
80-400mm AF-S VR. This new version is on sale through the end of the month. Around $2,200. You will not regret this lens if financial pain does not bother you...
Birding can be hugely expensive...
