The White-crowned Hornbill is a large, striking hornbill of Southeast Asian rainforests, recognized by its predominantly black body, long white tail, and a distinctive shaggy white crest. Males have a red casque, while females have a black casque.
Where to spot
Found in Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. Inhabits lowland and montane evergreen forests.
How to spot
Look for its large size, all-black body, shaggy white crest, and long white tail. The male's red casque and female's black casque are good field marks. Listen for their loud, raucous calls, often given collectively by a flock.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its forest habitat. Active during the day, often seen flying over the forest canopy or foraging in large trees.
