[mou-net] Rough-legged not Harrier

Thanks all for the input. I think Rough Legged is more likely, given habitat and time of year. The bird was large further reinforcing the Buteo ID more likely. A Rough-legged would still be a new yard bird here. Side note – A Red-tailed Hawk made several appearances this fall, as well. He
