Wow! I am so amazed at some of the pictures I have just seen. I have some other shots that are okay, but not worthy to be in this group. This is far and away my best wildlife photo from this year.

I really like the battle scars and the horn like material that has grown in front of his right eye. I have a side view shot of him that shows the eye itself is undamaged and functional.

Is that a bird crawling through the buffalo's nose?

I have never heard of an oxpecker before. The Marine in me wants to make bad jokes, but I will resist the urge.

The Red Oxpeckers are cool ... I have shots of them on a lot of critters in South Africa ... my favorite is one flying in front of a Buffaloe calf who looks like it is going crosseyed looking at the bird. They will go in and out of all sorts of crevices to glean bugs and the critters appreciate the help :cool:

The Coopers Hawk lives right next to my house. She comes and watches me pour the morning food. Then she flys into my shrub and waits. Sometimes she is here all day long.

I loooked at these on my phone earlier today and was impressed. I just looked at the pictures full size, yours and others that I "saw small".

All I can say is wow! To these old eyes, the phone is NOT a good viewing device for the incredible images shown on this site.
