A couple of weeks ago, on two successive mornings, while having my morning pot of coffee at the kitchen window, I was interrupted by a couple of visitors in the backyard. The first morning, it was 28 degrees, a Coyote was investigating the bird feeder area. I wasn't really dressed for the occasion, but I got fairly close to him before he took off, guess he had never seen a guy in a pair of boxers with a 500mm on a bushhawk. The second morning, there was no breeze and the pond surface was smooth as glass, providing great reflections.... I had jeans on that morning. Here are a few I took before I returned to my "cold coffee".
Okay Doug, I can't get the image of you/someone chasing a coyote in your boxers with a bushhawk!! Great shots of all around here, coyote, hawk and nice work the reflections of the deer. I could tolerate cold coffee for this stuff. Nice work!!
Doug, I'll trade you a truckload of the best hot or iced coffee you've ever had for your backyard. Wow, the coyote captures are great, the deer captures are beautiful. Even a Redtail! Wow...
Great work Doug!! Love the action poses on the canine (man, they grow FAT back there. Compared to the skinny desert dogs I'm familiar with, that one is a cow). Beautiful reflection shots too.
This is be a great post as long as I can block the scary visual you planted out of my brain. Trust me folks the visual is worse if you've seen Doug in person Sorry - couldn't resist. Don't be surprised if Bravo drops in on this one - opps he beat me to the punch and posted when I was typing. He took it easy on you
Seriously nice work. The colors and reflections of the deer, the detail in the RTH and the Coyote shots - all of it really works!
Great shots Doug - especially the first three of the coyote in flight. Of course, I'd be airborne like that too if I saw you coming at me in your homer simpson boxer shorts wielding a 500 on a bushhawk
Wow! that's a nice way to wake up in the morning great shots Doug! if you don't feel like shooting wildlife that day, animals drop in for a cofee and a portrait!
Ok as an italian...I would never give up on my hot espresso, no matter what animal shows up then again i'm not good at taking pics anyway so why bother

Thanks Tim. Just shake your head real hard a couple of times and hopefully that image will disappear! I was charging the battery for my camera when I first saw the coyote, so by the time I put the battery back, I knew a trip upstairs was out of the question.
then again i'm not good at taking pics anyway so why bother
