Interesting. We have a juvenile plumage male Orchard Oriole also actively
singing around our yard. I assume they will breed if they attract a female.
Oddly, there is an adult male also in the same general area, but I see it
less and it sings less often. I've never really seen them chase each other.

Last weekend and again this morning, there is a male Orchard Oriole, in
juvenile plumage, singing and clearly defending territory around the house.
He acted like he would gladly thrash me, when I played his song back to him.
Does anyone know whether Orchard Orioles breed while still in juvenile
plumage? This seems odd, to me.
