I was set up hoping for Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers to land on this perch when this young Brewer's Sparrow landed and posed.
You may notice the title ties in here. I was elated to come across some open fields with this shrub, Curl-leaf Mountain Mahogany, which features some fun and unique blooms.

LR and PS. Did move the end blooms further up the perch a bit to fit the frame better.
