We are known as Swamp Sparrows
Notice our rusty red heads
You can find us in swamps and in marshes
That we traverse using our long* legs.

*Well, for sparrows, Swamp Sparrows have longs legs. But no one will be asking us to play on their basketball team anytime soon.

Location: Providence Road, Cocoa
