November 1, 2023 - Tanzanian Red-billed Hornbill (Tockus ruahae) Found in Tanzania, these hornbills live in savannas and woodlands, especially those with baobabs and acacias. They feed on insects, including ants and beetle larvae, as well as seeds, and may also eat other arthropods, small vertebrates, and fruit, like closely related species. Their breeding behaviors have not been studied, though they likely nest in cavities.

Writhe-billed Hornbill Propaganda

eBird Sightings - 31

IUCN Status - Critically Endangered

Location: Philippines - Panay and Negros islands

Thought to be rare even before human disruption, this species is now suffering from extensive cutting and logging of its lowland forest habitat. It was also a victime of hunting and nest robbing for the pet trade, though local efforts have reduced nest poaching by 95%.
