Hi all!

Long time no post.

I've got an Abyssinian ground hornbill from the lovely Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda.

Thanks for looking and C&C is welcome!

These are amazing Jeff, can't choose a favorite, great detail. That horn looks like an air scoop.

Thanks Ben! The cask is a cool feature of these northern ground hornbills - definitely different from their southern brethren.

Great portrait session!

This guy was only about ten feet away from us, just preening and posing. It really felt like a portrait session haha.
