The Rufous Hornbill ("Buceros hydrocorax"), also known as Philippine Hornbill and, locally, as Kalaw (pronounced kah-lau) is a large species of hornbill endemic to the Philippines, where it occurs in primary, mature secondary and disturbed forests on 11 islands: Luzon and Marinduque (race "hydrocorax"), Samar, Leyte, Bohol, Panaon, Biliran, Calicoan and Buad (race "semigaleatus"), Dinagat, Siargao, Mindanao (plus Balut, Bucas and Talicud) and Basilan (race "mindanensis"). It is still common locally, notably in the Sierra Madre of Luzon, but continues to suffer from substantial hunting pressure and widespread loss of habitat. The bill of the nominate subspecies is all-red, while the bills of the subspecies "semigaleatus" and "mindanensis" are pale yellow on the distal half.
