Wreathed Hornbill (Rhyticeros undulatus)

[Gary Kinard]

7D, 1/1600, ISO 800, 500mm + 1.4.
I replaced the background. The background is the side of a mountain. It was just to there right of where I shot these two. So not clouds. Bright spots are trees being hit by the sun from a distance.

Thanks Sarish, I was playing around with the Mark IV and the 7D with the 1.4 T.C. and found the 7D hit more consistently at a distance than the Mark IV and 1.4? Strange. At closer distances the Mark IV trounces the 7D. Shot these guys flying because when they got in the tree, feeding. It was almost impossible to get a good shot.
