Barn Swallows for sure. I responded to your other post; once Barn Swallows find a good place to nest, they tend to return. Generally taking down any existing nest will just have them build another. Is that a nest box? If so, you may have better luck removing that....but they probably will just build new.

Yep, colours work out. Today I had the male show up too. Both birds are walking very diligently through my flower bed in search of seeds. They make quite a different sound when startled.

beautiful! I would guess snowy egret, does it have yellow feet?

I'm not sure if this will help, but the best tip I've found to help cover my blueberries with netting is to drive stakes of some sort into the ground and put glass jars upside down on top of the stakes. . That lets the netting slide on and off easily. I weigh the edge down with some bricks, and have a spot at one end where I can pick up the bricks to step under. i use bamboo stakes because they are cheap even in long lengths, so I have three rows of the stakes - one on each side of the blueberry patch and one row down the middle. It lets me get around in there without too much stooping, which I also at my age do not like. If you are having trouble driving stakes in, try using a digging bar to make a small hole first - I use one to make holes for the pvc tubing I use in the garden for making hoop houses.
