[EBB Sightings] swamp sparrow, etc.

Seen at 5:30 2/17 in debris under fence at end of the west Las Positas creek 
trail on South side. I scratched for 7 min. to give a great look. Does 
anyone know what the swamp rats are? Muskrats maybe. If so the ears were 
much larger and tail longer than Midwest muskrats. One was at least 2 feet 
long including a 10 inch tail. A cinnamon teal graced the trail today.  
Directions. From Hwy 580 take Springtown exit & go about l mile N. park on 
Rhododendron St. Cross Springton blvd to the bike trail  & go west along the 
creek to the end of the paved trail. By sitting down I did not spook the 
sora rails, etc.
