I assume they are butterflies, but either way, they were very busy gathering nectar this afternoon.  If anyone can identify them, please do so in the comments. Thanks!  EDITED: Thanks to Emilio we now know that these are Western Branded Skippers (Hesperia colorado).  (Or they are Hesperia nevada – it’s hard to tell)

Handsome!

Getting nectar from the flower.

In this last one I was able to capture her (him?) eating the nectar.
