Fierce Defenders of Territory

As I was walking through the arbor in the garden this week, two male Baltimore orioles flew through the arbor and landed in a shrub in the garden border, fighting verbally and physically. From this I deduce that the garden is included in a mated oriole's territory. I have heard their song but this is the first time I saw an oriole this year.
