It's always a pleasure to make my way over to a specific spot to photograph this species, as it is on the very outskirts of its range over here and rather uncommon. Except at a couple of areas that they are known to frequent yearly. When looking for a "perch" to set up, I was not purposefully looking for a matching one, but when I came upon this particular rock it clicked right away that would somewhat match the sparrow's plumage, so that is the one I chose.
