Recently, several ecological photographers took images of three brown-necked hornbills in the mountains and forests of Yingjiang County, Dehong Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. Based on observations and images, the three brown-necked hornbills are 2 males and 1 female.
It is understood that the brown-necked hornbill is a national-level protected animal and is listed as an endangered species in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. The brown-necked hornbill is found in Yunnan and Tibet, and the well-documented images of Yunnan were taken by photographers in Xishuangbanna in the mid-1980s. In the early 1990s, there were records of villagers visiting Yingjiang County, but there has been no video testimony.
At present, the number of recorded bird species in Yingjiang County has reached 710 species. The double-horned hornbill, the corolla crease helmet hornbill, and the crowned hornbill all have stable observation records in Yingjiang County, and with the brown-necked hornbill recorded this time, only the white-throated hornbill is left to be found among the recorded hornbills in China.
