Von der Decken's Hornbill - Both

Managed to get both the male and female in a single shot. Male (Heinz) is on top of the bird house, and was the main focus of my shot. The female (Anyone know her name?) flew into the shot to what looks like prepping the bird house to be a viable nest. After getting 2 shots of the pair, Heinz flew off. Possibility of chick in the future seems likely.

      You can see they're just starting to mud up the hole. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see them on eggs within the next 1-2 months.

      That's exactly what the female was doing. Mudding up the hole.
