Every spring we see at least one unhealthy Pine Siskin at feeders, just hanging out and not eating. This is the first one I've seen resting on a hummingbird feeder! After 15 minutes, a Rufous Hummingbird chased it away.

This small butterfly seemed quite fragile, as if the wind would carry it off. It was ~1/2". The closest I can find is Epirrhoe plebeculata (Orange-winged Carpet)...? There were two near a moist spot in the dirt road.
