Oriental Pied Hornbill
Look what’s outside our window these days! I’ve seen both male and female of this species. This is not my own picture: our local male has a darker yellow on his casque. The female has a smaller casque and her bill/casque ensemble is whiter. But both are LARGE birds; I only notice them when they land on branches and shake the trees. Once on the branch, they sit quietly for a few minutes, turning their heads every now and then. They seem like fairly contemplative birds, but what do I know?
