HORNBILL SIGHTING

One big bonus my students and I get when we are out working at the Herb Garden is the sighting of hornbills.  Once in a while we will be blessed with their presence and that is the time when we stop gardening and start bird watching.
Here is the hornbill perched on a branch of the Yellow Flame tree.
A clearer picture of the hornbill.  It was eating the fruit from this palm tree.

The hornbill in flight.
Before the hornbill flew away from the garden, it left behind one of its feathers as a souvenir for us.
Here is the feather.

Below you can see my boys wearing the feather.
