Another wet and dreary day made hopes of seeing the previously reported Rough-legged Hawks at the Great Swamp a long shot at best. As we drove up Route 287 visibility in some areas was 50-100 yards as the slightly warmer temperatures and rain melted snow. When we got to the spot (near the “Friends of the Great Swamp Book Store”) we quickly got on a light colored Hawk that neither Jeanette or I had seen before. Though not our best work, we did get some pictures of the Light morph Rough-legged Hawk and added another Jersey bird to the list.
