Red Billed Hornbill- Meru Park, Kenya

Along with the Go-Away Bird, this Red Billed Hornbill is a common camp follower in the scrubby dry areas of Kenya. The hornbill has an interesting nesting tactic- sealing the female with mud in a hollow tree. The male feeds her and young through a small hole until young are ready to fly.
