Lepidoptera yes, moths no; these are skipper butterflies (but I can't quite make out the species).

One of the best examples of Batesian mimicry I've yet seen. A superb sighting indeed!

This is a damselfly species I'd very much like to photograph someday.

A lovely bird indeed! The subspecies here in northwest Oregon don't have the white eyebrow marks (although a few have very thin white forehead streaks).

Superb sighting!

That's quite a rarity for California. When these are seen north of Mexico it is usually in south Texas. Well done indeed!

Indeed I have; Birkhead's writing about birds is delightful. In fact, not long ago I read - and reviewed for Bird Watcher's Digest - his most recent book "Bird Sense."

Thanks! I still can hardly believe I recorded both with an iPhone through a spotting scope.

You are most welcome.
