Finally, the helmeted hornbill.

We went birding at 6:00am and immediately “saw” the helmeted hornbill.  However, it was still fairly dark and misty.  We waited by the fig tree for about 90 minutes for sun to rise, the fog to dissipate, and the birds to come out from behind leaves. Persistence paid off. (Mike was going to patience but he was impatient the entire time).  
Here are some of the photos from the early morning




Eventually, they ate some figs and flew to an another tree and briefly stayed in the open.
