Perfect shot!! This is an adult; Juvies have gray heads.

Thanks Sachin! I love this one! I think I should frame it!

It's just that it looks so compact and petite -- usually they look longer; that's why I think it's a little one. It's such a great shot with the Grand Canyon behind it!

Thanks! That's what I thought it was, but I wasn't sure!

It looks like a young one.
