How about a Hummingbird?

Hummingbirds from Starry Nights Bed and Breakfast, Wimberley, TX.

Per Gil: The ones at the flowers I cannot identify by your photos, but they are either Black-chinned or Ruby-throated. While I am tempted to call the male a Black-chinned, the angle of light on the gorget (throat feathers) makes all the difference, and is not good enough in this photo.


Flycatcher with a snack for the youngsters.  Maybe olive-sided, but not 100% certain. 
Update: Gil says, "It is definitely not (an olive-sided). It is an Ash-throated flycatcher...   Ash-throated flycatchers are sexually monomorphic. Males and females cannot be safely told apart in the field, unless you actually observe one laying an egg!
 

Ash-throated flycatcher!
