Observation details

A nice surprise, though I recorded this bird here faintly 2 days ago (not seen then, much further away). High-pitched cheep call notes; seen well eventually as it ranged a bit widely, calling from an open space in the marsh (here: 47.4190530, -122.2760165) and once coming in pretty close to the road. Rufous wings, gray nape, rusty crown striping, and a bit of yellow in the supraloral. Possibly 2 different Swamp Sparrows here?? Photos and audio captured.
