Kent,
at least for me a very different setup since this birds really like to sit usually in bushes. I like the sky in the background very much and also the pose of the hornbill. All over well done.

A wild looking bird, Ken and very well photographed. The stray feather adds a bit of whimsy to the image.

I like this a lot Ken. Such an odd looking bird against that blue sky works well for me. Nice detail in the Hornbill too.

Love the sky BG Ken, the diagonal perch and good techs. I do wish he gave you a bit more head turn, but got to take what they give us. Nice work!
