Cuban Trogon carring food to the nest

Cuban Trogon the national Bird of Cuba, use to nest in cavities, laying 2 to 4 eggs. This picture was taking in my backyard in Zapata Swamp Biosphere Reserve (CUBA). More than 12 species of birds use cavities and we have set nest boxes in our backyard that are used by the Cuban Trogons during the breeding season as well as many other species of birds.
