Second Runner-up | Young Photographer
Rufous Treepies sustain an interesting relationship with their ungulate friends. One can often find them perched on deer and antelopes, on the lookout for fleas and other ectoparasites to fill their bellies. The ungulates are welcoming of their avian friends and allow treepies to examine specific parts of their bodies. A particularly delicate area in this case, and humorously framed by the photographer.
