Very fine image, Gene. That one looks like an adult, to me. If we could see its legs it would be easier to tell; a juvenile's legs are greenish and get more orange as they mature.
I've been fortunate to be able to see them regularly here in KY during their breeding season; they aren't here year round. Looking forward to seeing them again in a few months!

Marshall, Thanks for the comment. I think it is an adult, also, but I am no expert on identification. It was just off a nest that had chicks in it as I recall. It was actually taken last year but I just got around to looking at some shots from last year.
