HELP!!! What is it???

What is this? Is it a butterfly or a moth? I have searched on line but can't find any information about it. If you can identify it, please let me know !!!!!!

This hummer has a very unusual look. Her body was the the shade of the feeder and the wing tips had the sun shinning on them.

Mountain Laurel - This was taken in the mountains of Lee County, Va.

House Wren

Red Shoulder Hawk - Imagine my surprise today when I caught a glimpse of something landing in a tree in the back yard. I couldn't believe it was a hawk. Wish it had been a little closer. I've tried cropping and doing some enhancing in Photoshop so you could get a better look at it. Don't have any idea what type of lens I need to get the birds I'd like.

Take a close look at this bird. His feet and back are in one direction and head in another. I did not know that a bird could turn his head and look backwards 180 degrees.

This heron was taken at Sunday Park in Brandermill. I, also, got a little surprise when looking at the pictures, at the feet is a turtle.
