Not sure what species of Harvester ants/Pogonomyrmex ants are these? Found some Princess and Alates, hanging around the nest. Is this a good sign for a nuptial flight?

You are right. this is Pogonomyrmex, and if the alates are hanging around, they should be flying soon!

Ants I have: Tapinoma sessile(2 queen colony). RED MORPH Camponotus neacticus(now has pupae!), Tetramorium immigrans (x3), Aphaenogaster sp, Temnothorax sp, Brachymyrmex sp. possibly infertile , Ponera pennsylvanica, and Pheidole morrisi!
Other insects: Polistes sp. Queen
Ants I need: Pheidole sp., Trachymyrmex sp., Crematogaster cerasi , Dorymyrmex sp. Most wanted: Pheidole morrisii
Currently Keeping:
Pogonomyrmex Californicus Bicolor & Concolor
Pogonomyrmex Subnitidius
Camponotus Sansabeanus
Those look like californicus to me. Don't take my word for it, though.
"God made..... all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. (including ants) And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25 NIV version
I mean, they are pretty hard to ID from your photos. I mean, if you can collect/get a photo a elate queen and/or worker up close would make it easier.
I will try to get a worker later on

Same.
