On Sunday afternoon, I watched a N. Harrier land on the ground near a wet
area.  It stayed on the ground.  It was apparently hunting there.
Every few minutes it would run quickly about 3 or 4 feet and then look
around and listen for a minute or so.  It did this for at least the 10
minutes that I was watching it.
I have never seen this behavior in a hawk before.  Has anybody else?
