The first female Orchard Oriole of the year is now in the yard.  Now 
the "boys" have someone to chase other than each other.

I had a male Orchard Oriole knock himself silly against a window 
yesterday.  I picked him up and held him for 5 minutes or so until he 
revived.  I was sitting with him outside and let him sit on my stomache.  
He hopped up to my shoulder and sat there for 5 minutes or so.   While 
sitting there, the other Orchard Orioles in the yard were singing.  The 
one on my shoulder tried a couple of times to respond but he just made a 
few pitiful squeaks.  Then my wife came out and scared him off.
