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...
Thank you Maggie. I am pretty lucky, I am not far from a lot of woods and farm land, so there are a lot of visitors that pass through all the time. You can still bring the coffee...I'll even get dressed.

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.
Thanks John. There are a couple of coyotes hanging around here and they both look very healthy, kind of surprising after the hard winter we had. I still know where they can get a couple of more rabbits.
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
Thank you Gero. Damn, you must have put the 2x on that 500 to pick out Homer!

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
Thank Nello. I didn't give up on my coffee, the first pot was almost gone, plus they showed up early. And I'm not buying that last sentence for a second!
My! Your Coyote is huge compared to our emancipated looking ones here in desert Nevada. I love # 2 for it's action and his look at you. And #8, I love the red shrub behind the deer, for me it brings the picture to life.
Wow, Doug, what a way to start your days. This morning while I was drinking my coffe I saw an Impala.....yeah....a Chevy Impala.
These are great captures. I like how you got the agility of the coyote, and the beauty of the deers. The reflections really make the shots. Well done.
Socrate
You should bottle that coffee as a scent lure Not sure about the sexual connotations of your bush hawk and 500mm something or other though Coyote #2 and #4 are stunning, man he gave you the look! Nice RTH in-flight, gosh those deer look so pretty reflecing in the water. What a great way to start the morning, my tip............make coffee the night before, just heat it up in the morning when you get done warming up your bush hawk
Jesus > The thought of you outside in your boxers is enough to make me want to sell my Mark III and 500 ..................... I just want Noooooooooo part of that !!!
On a lighter note: Pretty kewl action series my friend !! The deer reflections are purdy
then again i'm not good at taking pics anyway so why bother 
<--- new one I learned can you tell
