Damara Red-billed Hornbill
This is admittedly a 'cheap shot' because this bird was lured with food, but I never imagined this encounter when I arrived at this lodge/campground. The owner has been feeding hornbills for years, and they descend on the property twice each day in anticipation of handouts. Most of the birds perched on lawn chairs, metal sculptures, and fenceposts, but this bird gave me a nice pose on this stick, even iff it was resting on the ground. It would have been nice to set-up some proper perches up higher, but I had only one morning at this location.
