Hornbills are iconic of Southeast Asia and many birders travel to Thailand in search of the 13 species that can be found throughout the country. In Khlong Saeng and northern parts of Khao Sok National Park, can be found eight of these species. I saw three, including the great hornbill. As the name would suggest, this is a large hornbill, with a wingspan that can reach five feet. The great hornbill’s most prominent feature is the bright yellow casque that sits atop the elongated bill. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/8000th of a second
