Thank you loxodonta. Do you know if Tarictic hornbills are in a cage in the back of the exhibit? or they are just shy and would like to be away from the public? I have a 200mm lens, plus 2x conventer, which could extend to 400mm. Do you think this would be enough to get a good picture of the bird? I will be happy just to get a glimpse of them since this would be my first to see the genus of this hornbill species.

What species of duiker is in the shoebill stork exhibit or the lesser kudu exhibit? I understand Tampa is pretty big on duikers too. Besides blue duikers, ISIS also has bay duiker (1,2) and common duiker (1,0) on their list.

The Tarictic hornbills are not in a cage in the back. They were just shy. I would bring both lens just in case.

The common and bay duikers are in with the kudu as well as steenbok. The duiker in with the shoebill I beleive are blue duiker due to their small size but I am not positive. Either way both exhibits are great mixed species habitat.
 
Thank you. I hope they can come out during feeding times. The birds in our Jungle Aviary usually converge on the keeper's food cart during their feeding times. This is when the most shy birds would venture out and get the best bits of food before they were gone. You can practically sit there and check off most of the species in that aviary. It was a very colorful sight with all those feathers.
