What is that - 20131224 - CS3_3853

A question for wildlife enthusiasts.

This is a detail of a larger image. Do you know what bird this is and what it is doing?

I will post the answer tomorrow!

  1. I don’t really know but my guess would be an Oxpecker eating ticks or insects off a Rhino. Knowing you it could be anything!! So you might have a good laugh at my guess. Nice collage from the other post. Have A Great One and don’t laugh too hard..

    1. Well done Lisa:
      And the answer is …
      The picture shows a juvenile Red-billed Oxpecker looking for ticks inside of a White Rhino’s nose. The Oxpecker’s bill is black because he is not an adult yet.
