Birding Thailand 2 REVISED (HORNBILLS, Owlets, Elephants & MORE)

Birding Thailand 2 REVISED. Second installment of our 4 video series from our October 2020 trip to Thailand.
"Cover Bird"(and also appearing as the Title Bird) is the Great Hornbill (03:17). It was photographed foraging in a fig tree at Kaeng Krachan National Park. The horn or casque is hollow. Males will butt casques in flight. While it may not be the longest hornbill, Great Hornbills are the heaviest.
Featured birds and animals:
HORNBILLS-Oriental Pied (01:57) and Great (03:17)
OWLETS-Small pygmy owls-Asian Barred (03:01) Spotted (11:20) and Collared (14:42). Smaller and pudgier owls. Hands down they are the winners in a staring contest!

MACAQUE monkeys-(20:10) were grooming each other.
