Continuing the Hornbill theme, this Crowned was found in Chikwenya. the best area of Mana Pools, Zimbabwe, largely because it is a private concession.

Handsome is not quite the right word, but certainly a fine looking bird. :toast:

Ken I don't know what you're doing to attract all these Hornbills...but keep it up, I love these birds. I'll probably never get to see one wild so I have to rely on yours! :toast:
