Hornbills are always interesting to watch and I found myself doing that more than actually shooting them, but managed to bag a few shots! These were taken in Kruger and Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Reserves, South Africa.

Great shots of an unusual looking bird that I'll never get to see in person, so thanks for sharing these.

Very cool looking birds, kind of a mean look to them. Love that one with the ant, not much of a meal! Great shooting, thanks for sharing these.

Thanks a lot. They are a pretty funny kinda bird. Very curious and not too shy. One of the yellow beaked guys around camp was eating fruit out of my hand at one point ... and that's a big beak!
