Description

The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a medium-sized seabird with gray and white feathers with a beak and feet colored red-orange. They are social birds and enjoy nesting in colonies. Arctic terns are seen in the Arctic and cold regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. They are seen out on the sea for most of the year. The arctic tern can migrate from the North pole to the South pole and travel around 25,000 miles every year. Arctic terns eat fish, crustaceans, insects, mollusks, marine worm, and earthworms. They are not considered in danger of extinction.

Seabirds are a species of bird that spends most of its life in marine habitats. Seabirds generally live longer, breed later, and have fewer young than other birds. Seabirds also tend to nest in colonies and have extraordinarily long migrations, sometimes across the equator or around the world.
