I found the Swamp Sparrow early Monday afternoon in the same place reported 
by Bob Dunn (see directions below).  I, too, saw a Sora near the end of the 
path, as well as a Virginia Rail and a pair of Cinnamon Teal.  There were many 
Lincoln's Sparrows in the area, and I had good looks at a beautiful male Common 
Yellowthroat (up in a tree on the fence line!).  At one point, I had a quick 
glimpse of what I believe was a female Ring-necked Pheasant, flying quickly out 
of view around the bend of the creek.
