Von den Decken’s Hornbill
Von der Decken's Hornbills were common at our Naitola campsite. This male reminded me of a classical musician. He had a black back (suit coat), white underparts (dress shirt), some bare red skin on the throat (bow tie), and some loose white feathering on the head (flowing white hair). The bill is bright red, with the front third being cream colored. The females are similar, but their bills are uniformly dark.
