If anyone knows the name of this bird, let me know... I do know that this guy had quite the personality and was not the least bit shy. They seem to be everywhere in Africa (well, at least in Botswana), and are little rascals...
Beautiful picture! I believe it's a Yellow Hornbill. I saw some of these guys while I was in South Africa and they would come right up to you and almost take the food right out of your hands!
I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I have been a helicopter pilot, a SCUBA instructor, a teacher, and a photographer.
I was in Indonesia for the past 27 years, and now in New Delhi, India. It has been a great ride so far, and the adventure continues to get better every day.

Gorgeous portrait! I believe it is a Crowned Hornbill. At least that's how I ended up identifying the one I shot a while ago! :)

I was going to say, "I'll bet Klaus knows!" He did.
Excellent photograph!
Wow! Interesting looking fella. Love the beak.

Great shot! That is some kind of bird and it's beak, oddly enough, reminds me of an aging banana.

This is beautiful. It looks like something I could paint.
Wonderful shot, I love photographing birds too.
