Thanks to all for the bird ID. I intend to try Jean's distant feeder
suggestion.

That's a Tufted Titmouse. I'm surprised it's going for moths; it's mainly a
seed eater. How about putting some black oil sunflower seeds in a feeder on
the other side of the house? They are pretty "tame" and will visit a feeder.
I would have guessed a Carolina Wren was your moth eater. They comb every
building we have for bugs.

Maybe a little off-topic.
I finally got a photo of the &^%$ bird that eats the moths off my back
porch:

The top of the head is darker, which for some reason you can't see in the
photo.
I know that some of you are birders... is the photo clear enough to
identify it? Any suggestions for dissuading it from clearing the moths before
I can photograph them?
