[va-bird] Immature Baltimore Orioles

I experienced the "Patagonia rest stop" effect today in my central 
Blacksburg yard.  I've been following the tribulations of a male 
house wren who has been singing for a mate for at least a month. He 
finally met  someone and they seem to be ready to settle down 
(doesn't it seem late for nesting?), which I've been watching from a 
little-used window, when I saw 3, maybe four, first-year Orioles 
foraging in a thicket of Rose-of-Sharon.  It seemed that they were 
eating the blossoms.  I've not heard Orioles in the neighborhood this 
spring or summer so I'm guessing they're moving through.
