We had two Light-morph Roughlegs — including the one above — circling on Disposal Road around 3 p.m. today.
Dennis Cheeseman had several Northern Harriers — including the one below — on Disposal Road at lunchtime. (Thanks, Dennis!)
Plenty of Red-tails around, too.
Don DesJardins reports:

1 Rough-legged Hawk {light-morph} near DeKorte on Valley Brook Ave.
1 male harrier patroling the area.
5 female harriers{ 2 adult,3 imm.]
1 male kestrel

Several Redtails
1 Peregrine Falcon {adult} chasing Green-winged Teal
8 White-crowned Sparrows {2 adult}
Another good day at the meadows.
Thanks, Don! And thanks to Doug Tilley for the Disposal Road Northern Harrier shot (taken Saturday) that accompanies this post.
Ron Shields surveyed a frozen Kearny Marsh last week and came up with these shots of a Common Moorhen above and an American Coot below. Check out those feet. (Thanks, Ron!)
Great Blue Heron shot follows.
