    It would have been really funny if you had caught him with his little feet up in the air as he was slipping on the ice! 
    What kind of sparrow is that?

    Are you kidding? Is that really a Swamp Sparrow?

    I'm not being wise, I seriously had no idea. And if so, I've never seen one before or since.

    I checked it out in the field guide and the drawing, location (Winter in North Carolina) and habitat (boggy marsh) seem right.

    It's always great when you can add a new bird to your list without leaving the house.

    I'm gonna put a post in the ID group with the story that goes along with this.
