Description
Tern Reflections by D Hackett
A graceful, black-and-white waterbird, the Common Tern is the most widespread tern in North America. It can be seen plunging from the air into water to catch small fish along rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Cool Facts
The Common Tern drinks mainly on the wing, gliding with its wings slightly raised and dipping its bill several times into the water.
Common Terns living along the coast drink salt water. They do not seek fresh water even when it is available nearby. Like many seabirds, they have nasal glands that excrete the excess salt.
