[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Easily spotted with the large yellow beak, this bird can be found in the wildlife areas of Southern Africa regularly. Its favorite food is ants and termites in the dry season; however, during other times, it looks for all sorts small ground life: seeds, insects, spiders and even scorpions.

Hi Dan

Even though this has a busy BG, you show this Hornbill well. Nice clear shot with good eye contact. :-)

Good perspective and a crisp capture.
Thanks for sharing.
