Spring is chick season

Here are some photos from 2 weeks ago (I'm getting a little better with the posting speed!) I spent some time at the bird refuge in Santa Barbara and was in love with the mallard chicks. I was borrowing a 600mm F4 lens for the week and this was my first day using the lens. It was my "practice day".
