Beautiful Birds on Valentine's Day

Day-before yesterday, I saw a couple of beautiful birds right in front of our house. I live in a place where there are plenty of birds, in fact a variety of birds. So,its no surprise, but to see a pair of black-hooded orioles is no simple joy. They are such lovely birds that you wish you could watch them forever. Their bright yellow plumage contrasting with their black head is a sight to see. It is difficult not to love these birds.
Their voice is so unique and very pleasant to the ears. It seems more like a deep whistle and to me it feels as though they are calling me!

Though they are brightly colored, they move so fast it is difficult to spot them. But, yesterday it wasn't the case. They were right in front of my face for more than ten minutes. Though they were moving among the branches of the tree, they weren't very far and they weren't hidden.

I think those beautiful few minutes were nature's gift to me on valentine's day!
