Hornbill Nest in Tree Cavity After Rain in on a wind-scoured ridge near Victoria

Hornbill Nest in Tree Cavity After Rain

by Leroy Bishop

Soft, diffused light falls through damp foliage on a wind-scoured ridge near Victoria, illuminating a deep tree cavity where a hornbill nest rests. The rough, gray bark contrasts with the smooth, pale plaster of mud sealing the entrance. Inside the shadowed hollow, a white egg or chick is faintly visible against the dark interior. Droplets rest on the surrounding branches, glistening under the clearing sky. Early autumn leaves show hints of yellow and brown, scattered across the mossy ground below. The stillness suggests a quiet moment after a storm, with no movement in the surrounding canopy. one drop of water falls from a nearby twig, landing softly on the moss.
