This male Malabar Pied Hornbill (Anthracoceros coronatus) has a huge casque (beak extension). When vying for females, they do mid-air battle with them. So why do the females have them? You can tell the females apart because they have white skin around their eyes whereas the males are all black.
Beautiful new backyard friend came to visit. Greater coucal or Crow Pheasant (Centropus sinensis) is pretty massive but apparently primarily eats snails. Admittedly, the snails here are also huge.
Bird blind. I scrounged up some materials in the garage, and I now have a place to photograph the birds at the feeder. The distance is about 19 feet (6 m.) from camera to feeder.
My first customer was a handsome white-breasted nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis).
