<div>This brings me to ask the question: when do juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers develop their adult head plumage?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On 04-05-21 I observed three Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. They were an "adult" male, "adult" female, and a juvenile. The male and female were doing courtship displays. The juvenile flew at the female, and then the male flew at the juvenile, seemingly to
chase it away from the female.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker pairs here last year had one kid. These three are hanging out in the same areas as last year's family. Could this still be a 2020 family unit?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
