Raptors, and Coyote, and Antelope, OH MY!

[Aloicious]

So I shot these the same day as my recent couple eagle posts, but thought it'd be best to split the posts up so I don't have 1 super image heavy post...these are the non-eagles from that day...

1) Antelope Portrait

2)Falcon? help with ID on this would be appreciated:

3) Coyote digging for something (he never got whatever it was he was looking for down there)

4) Northern Harrier - this is the only somewhat decent shot I got of her, I know it's not super great, but in the midst of all the eagles that day it was nice to see another bird of prey in attendance.

Awsome pics! How did you get so close to the desert donkey?

hehe desert donkey? haven't heard that one before. There were actually about 15 antelope grazing just next to the road. that was the closest one I could get to, and its probably about a ~40% crop. the original was a bit over exposed, I had to recover some of the highlights, which is a little apparent. but it was one of the better antelope pics I got.
