Black-hooded Oriole, by Masudur Rahman

This photograph of Black-hooded Oriole was taken in one fine winter morning of 2013, at Mohora, Chittagong, which is very near to the river Karnaphuli. With a marvelous color combination, yellow and black, this is one of the most beautiful birds of Bangladesh, locally known as “Kalo Matha Bene Bao” or “Hulud Pakhi”.
