Foliage, Flowers, And Sparrows

I haven't heard much about fall color this year in the news. I was happy to see there's some around.  

I liked the way this flower looked when I was out looking for fall sparrows. I don't know what kind it is but I remember seeing a picture of Cosmos and wondered if that's what this might be?

I've seen plenty of sparrows but not really the ones I've been looking for. Mostly Savannah Sparrows so far. Still, they look nice, especially viewed through a spotting scope.
