The reports are that the Swamp Harrier is very secretive in its nesting 
locations. See eg the Cuppers' book. If the spot you describe is not deep 
within an inaccessible reedy swamp, then it is probably not a nest but the 
latter choice of your sentence. They do perch on the ground much more than most 
hawks.
