On Thursday, Nov. 21, at 7 p.m. at the Loon Center in Moultonborough, the Lakes Region Chapter of the New Hampshire Audubon Society will present a program on "Hornbills: A unique Old-World Family of Birds," presented by Dana and Bob Fox.

Hornbills are an Old-World family of birds which first evolved in Africa over 60 million years ago, and then one species radiated to Asia. Today, half of the 64 species in the world live in Africa, including two land-loving species, and half in Asia, where new species have evolved as far east as the Solomon Islands.
