Barn Swallow

Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica) have long forked tails and fairly short legs. They are often seen flitting here and there over water, searching for insects. They are fairly common in North America, but don't sit still for portraits, at least not for me : )

 

Seen at Lake St. Clair Metropark marsh, Southeast Michigan.
