I know, I know, it's not a Phalarope. But, yesterday, as I was setting
up my gear in the Teddy Roosevelt Nature Center parking lot, I heard a
harrier call out behind me. When I turned around, there was a lot of
commotion, and other birds flew off quite upset. I grabbed my camera as
the Gray Ghost came shooting out of a tree carrying talons-full of moss.
Lucky to get anything in focus, here's a shot

It has been suggested to me that a Northern Harrier nesting at Jones
Beach is unusual. I am putting this out there for any comments about that.
