The most exciting moment in my birding life happened this morning when I finally saw the Rufous Hornbill (Buceros hydrocorax, now becoming a rare Philippine endemic) "in bird."
This spectacular and majestic bird is the largest hornbill in our islands. The closest I got to the family of 3 individuals is about 60 meters, yet the bird's 37 inches total length allowed me to fill a good portion of the frame at 800 mm. Captured at Quezon National Park (Philippines) - 350D + Sigmonster (Sigma 300-800 DG), 800 mm, f/8, 1/160 sec, ISO 400, manual exposure  Romy Romy Ocon
