I thought NYC rats were huge and gross, but WOW they don't even compare to these invasive Bayou rats. Great in-depth work covering this awesome assignment. Second place shows great access to cover an individual's personal plight in the middle of the winter storm crisis. Good variety of images in the third place story.
