More morning reflections under a warm sun. After lunch a female cardinal stuffed herself with seeds but never lowered her crest. I couldn't tell if she was alarmed or if her feathers just got stuck in the UP position. I haven't seen any Fall migrants thus far
The breeze sent leaves fluttering down, each of which looked briefly like a bird. A grasshopper, I think, glittered in the sunlight as it flew across my view and disappeared somewhere in the vicinity of a dogwood. Wasps were active though they had given up on the mountain mint. Yellow jackets were among them. Lots of butterfly milkweed seeds were nearly ready to float away. I think they were waiting for lower humidity.
After dark the first quarter moon was bright despite some haze and a couple of contrails. Jupiter was trailing the moon. I really need to use a tripod after dark.
