These trees (about 4-5 big ones in the area) always harbor a number of birds. They are also the best bet for getting clear views of the Hornbill. I have never seen them feeding on the nuts though, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case since I have seen the birds go near the base of the leaves and hide there, including a subadult bird a month or so ago.
Two full frame pics with two birds each - a male and female in the first one, and an adult male with a subadult male in the second - on a different tree of the same species attached below.

Sitting atop a Fishtail Palm? Wonder whether they feed on the nuts of this palm. Notice the opening between the mandibles like one sees in the Openbill Stork!Lavkumar Khachar.On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 2:45 PM, Ramit Singal <ramitsingal@gmail.com> wrote:Just can't get bored of them :)
