Red-Billed Hornbill


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick   		Red-Billed Hornbill
Red-Billed Hornbill
• Females usually lay three to six eggs in a tree cavity. She seals herself and the nest off with a cementlike substance made of mud, droppings and fruit pulp. A narrow opening allows the male to transfer food to her, and later to her and the chicks as they remain sealed inside.
• Incubation: 23 to 25 days
• While in the nest with the chicks, the female molts.
• When chicks are about 20 days old, the female breaks out and rebuilds the wall to expand the nesting area, and then both parents feed the chicks together.
• Chicks fly well on emerging from the nest and never return to it, although they may remain with their parents for six months.

frank w. degenhardt 		  Congratulations on the Finalist for this amazing freeze frame action. The way the timing was so perfect and the worm is in mid air ready to be devoured. Add to that, the colors and details are amazing and beautiful. This is Nat Geo work done here.
