Ground Hornbill

Ground Hornbill
The Ground Hornbill is listed as 'Vulnerable' in South Africa but fortunately it is still common in Zambia where this recording was made. The booming call is most often heard at dawn when the group advertise their territory, often starting before daylight and continuing for long periods. The dominant pair usually start the duet with other members of the group then joining in. The male has the deeper voice or pitch.
