Bird #203 - June 2009
L 713 mm (28")
uncommon, endemic
We first saw this bird in June 2009 but were not able to get a photograph until we went back to Palawan in September 2012. During the September trip, we saw them in two locations. They are beautiful, elegant, and distinctive-looking birds. They are quite unmistakable as they are the only hornbill found in Palawan. The male and female look similar.
