I have not been doing my best to share critters on their designated day. It's complicated.
So here is a sunning southern ground hornbill for #HornbillsDay from @oregonzoo.bsky.social

given that it's #hornbillsday, it feels appropriate to share this link to flora & fauna's page on the critically endangered helmeted hornbill

Please help save hornbills
Helmeted hornbills are in a desperate situation - with their headgear being turned into grim ornaments. We have to act now or we'll lose them.

Today is I ❤️ #HornbillsDay !

This year I'm studying the endangered Wrinkled Hornbill found in the forests of Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo.

They primarily eat fruit, like figs, but will consume small prey like frogs.

Female has a plain yellow bill and casque and bare blue skin around the eyes and on the neck pouch. This year I'm studying the endangered Wrinkled Hornbill found in the forests of Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. They primarily eat fruit, like figs, but will consume small prey like frogs. Loss of habitat and deforestation is likely the main cause of their endangered status. Sketch study art work, indented for learning purposes.

Happy #HornbillsDay! Here's some Malabar pied hornbills from our trip to Sri Lanka. @markwitton.bsky.social

Malabar pied hornbill on a branch. The head of a Malabar pied hornbill is visible through a gap in the tree. It has something in its beak, and looks pretty happy with itself.

So it’s Hornbill Day?!
Right in time, since my painting of a Sulawesi Wrinkled Horbill is finished! Done with watercolors and colored pencils on Arches hot press paper (18x24in)

Perfect reference picture from Edwin Butter 🥰
