2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Red Billed Oxpecker on a White Rhino, Sabi Sabi Game Reserve, Near Kruger National Park, South Africa
Bird in a Rhino's Ear

Species: Red Billed Oxpecker on a White Rhino | Location: Sabi Sabi Game Reserve, Near Kruger National Park, South Africa

The birds were plentiful that day and the Rhinos certainly appreciated their cleansing effects. This little guy found something he liked quite a bit inside the Rhinos ear and I finally managed to get him framed inside the ear.

About The Photographer

I travel a lot and always have my camera(s) at the ready. A recent safari in South Africa at Sabi Sabi Game Reserve which is attached to Kruger National Park really sparked my love of wildlife photography. Now I am trying to learn how to apply those lessons in more familiar settings. I am no expert, but a few more trips like that one and I'll know enough to think I'm one. Every time to shutter releases I still get a great thrill. Here's to that never changing.
