This spotting could definitely go in the Hunters and Animal Food Habits mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8463...
I was told by Cornell...that they are actually..Eastern Kingbird...a member of the flycatcher family.
This is a nice series. They look to me like they might be Tree Swallows - Tachycineta bicolor. The first picture is one of the adutls (probably the female) with some food and the rest are juveniles. They are very cute!
