<p><strong>Large-billed Bullies:</strong> In the Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve, a pair of Large-billed crows <em>Corvus macrorhynchos</em> send a Rose-ringed Parakeet <em>Psittacula krameri</em> to the forest floor. The corvids worked in sync, one haranguing the feisty parakeet while the other one went in for the kill. Corvids are considered the most intelligent of the birds and have a brain to body mass ratio that is only slightly lower than that of humans. The photographer, intent on sighting big cats, instead captured a different sort of hunt and a truly incredible natural history moment.</p><p><strong>LOCATION:</strong> Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve</p><p><strong>DETAILS:</strong> Camera: Canon EOS 7D, Lens: Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM + 1.4x Extender, Aperture: f/5.6, Shutter speed: 1/640 sec., ISO: 400, Focal Length: 420 mm.</p>
