I have been trying to figure out what this bird is, all day. It looks duck - like but small. Sorry again for the photo quality.

They are Barn Swallows.
New Year's Resolutions:
Get my lifelist to 300 (at the time of the original writing-293, currently-294)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 210 as of 6/11.

Thanks!
- I used to live in the woods, never saw barn swallows there, and I thought these were too big to be barn swallows.

Size can be hard to judge, especially if you're looking at a silhouette.
