Hemprich's Hornbill is a medium-sized, primarily dark hornbill found in the rocky, arid regions of northeastern Africa. It is distinguished by its dark brown plumage, paler belly, and a dull yellow bill with a small, rounded casque.
Where to spot
Found in northeastern Africa, including Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, and parts of Sudan and Uganda. Inhabits arid and semi-arid rocky areas, cliffs, and dry woodlands.
How to spot
Look for its dark plumage, paler underside, and dull yellow bill. Its habitat preference (rocky areas) is a key identification clue. Listen for its calls, which are a series of distinct, mournful hoots.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day, often seen foraging on the ground or in trees and cliffs.
