Here's an old, but in-depth write on the Northern Bob. There's a paragraph about midway or so in the Plumage section on molting. Keep in mind, this is primarily about "wild" birds....... http://www.birdsbybent.com/sample.html

Oh, and for those that think the male rivalry thing only happens inside a coop, read the "Courtship" section. (Keep in mind, I don't know how much stock to put in this full write, but I tend to favor old writes like this, as the devoted time spent on these type studies were sincere to that older generation in the circa of such writings.)
