ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
This bird is a Ground Southern Hornbill. It is the largest of the hornbills. While they can fly, the Ground Southern Hornbill is typically found walking on the ground. They have a long lifespan but due to poor breeding habits as well as lost of habitat, they are an endangered species in South Africa.
