Photo by Christian Ziegler @christianziegler | A male wreathed hornbill flies toward his nest in a tree cavity, where the female is incubating their eggs. Like all hornbills, the female is sealed into the nest behind a wall of mud that keeps the eggs and young chicks safe from predators. The female does not leave the nest until after the chicks have hatched and grown (usually 3 or 4 months), and during this time she is completely dependent on her partner her food. In collaboration with @uwicer, the Ugyen Wangchuk Institute for Conservation and Environment Research, Bhutan. @insidenatgeo supported me with a grant for this work. #Bhutan
