[Maine-birds] Swamp Sparrow

An odd little bird blew into our yard during the blizzard, and joined the two Song Sparrows that are spending the winter in the shrubs and grasses around the house. It is more plain than a Song, with a more cocked tail, and tends to run around on slightly longer reddish legs.  It appears to be a first-winter Swamp Sparrow.  I have photos if anyone is interested. I am looking at it right now.
