	Sterna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sterna is a genus of terns in the bird family Sternidae.
		Greater Crested Tern or Swift Tern, Sterna bergii (Thalasseus bergii)
		Saunders' Tern, Sterna saundersi (Often considered conspecific with Little Tern)

	Tern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They are lighter bodied and more streamlined than gulls, and look elegant in flight with long tails and long narrow wings.
		Terns in the genus Sterna have deeply forked tails, those in Chlidonias and Larosterna shallowly forked tails, while the noddies (genera Anous, Procelsterna, Gygis) have unusual 'notched wedge' shaped tails, the longest tail feathers being the middle-outer, not the central nor the outermost.
		Most terns (Sterna and the noddies) hunt fish by diving, often hovering first, but the marsh terns (Chlidonias) pick insects of the surface of fresh water.

	Change genera and linear sequence within the terns (Sterninae) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The second is the suggested classification which modifies that of Gochfeld and Burger (1996) to include two additional genera in recognition of the distinct clades formed by the brown-winged and small terns, bringing the number of genera among the terns up to 12.
		These groups are the noddies (Anous, Gygis, and Procelsterna), the brown-winged terns (four species of Sterna), the small terns (four species of Sterna), the marsh terns (Chlidonias), the crested terns (Thalasseus in Gochfeld and Burger (1996)), and the typical terns (several Sterna species).
		Sterna with Thalasseus included would still be monophyletic, and it would mean that Bridge et al.'s concern about the placement of forsteri and trudeaui would be moot, at least with respect to generic placement.

		The name Sterna antillarum is credited to Lesson (1847) (01,02) who first described the American least tern as Sternula melanorhynchus from a juvenile specimen mistaken for an adult form from the West Indies (66).
		Scientific names and synonyms associated with the least tern (Sterna antillarum) and specifically the interior population of the least tern (Sterna antillarum athalassos) include: Sterna albifrons, Sterna argentea, Sterna frenata (67), Sterna minuta americana (67), Sterna superciliaris, Sternula melanorhynchus (66,67), Sternula antillarum, Sterna albifrons athalassos, and Sterna superciliaris antillarum.
		In an Oklahoma study (69), the most abundant prey available were plains killifish (Fundulus zebrinus) and sand shiners (Notropis stramineus) in streams traversing salt flats; and plains minnows (Hybognathus placitus), sand shiners, plains killifish, and Mississippi silversides (Menidia audens) in stream reaches off of salt flats, at river mouths, and at the lake edges (69).

	It's getting silly, Houston - [RA] 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Our sterna is on a little hill just above the house, so the pressure of the water inside the sterna (combined with a famous law of Physics that I can't remember the name of) pushes the water through our taps.
		But last week the waterlevel in the sterna had dropped so much that it became impossible to take a shower.
		We considered ordering water, but having your sterna completely refilled 3 days before you leave is a bit silly.

		The solid fl caps on some of the terns extending from the bill to the back of the head is typical for early summer, though throughout most of the year, their foreheads are white.

	Rare Birds in Spain: Identification
		It was in the middle of a large group of other terns and gulls (c.190+ Sandwich Terns Sterna sandvicensis, +120 Black Terns Chlydonias niger, 2 Whiskered Terns Chlydonias hybridus, 3 Little Terns Sterna albifrons, +100 Little Gulls Larus minutus and some Black-headed Larus ridibundus and Mediterranean Gulls Larus melanocephalus).
		The observation of this Elegant Tern from 24-30 April 1993, was accepted as the 1st record of the species for Spain and the Mediterranean basin (de Juana y el CR-SEO 1997).
		The lower parts of the outer primaries were much darker in tone with patterning reminiscent of Sterna hirundo, but totally different from the dark patch on the wing of Sterna caspia.

		Evidence of the use of ornaments made from these shells was found deposited in an ancient burial site — probably belonging to the indigenous Seri Indian nation — in the coastal part of the State of Sonora.
		In the case of seeding round nuclei in Pteria sterna, a grafting technician can be considered as "technically trained" (having developed the best part of his potential) after seeding 7000 pearl oysters.
		The most important factors influencing the retention rate of pearl oysters (Pteria sterna) are water temperature, nuclei size and the overall condition of the organisms.

		Some terns, such as the Caspian (Sterna caspia), Royal (Sterna maxima), Sandwich (Sterna sandvicencis), and Roseate (Sterna dougallii), are in Florida year-round.
		Sooty (Sterna fuscata), Gull-billed (Sterna nilotica), and Least (Sterna antillarum) terns spend only the nesting season (March - August) in Florida and migrate south for the winter.
		The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) nests in the arctic tundra and winters in South America.

	AVES articolo Sterna ruppell
		The record of one breeding pair of Lesser Crested Terns Sterna bengalensis in the Valli di Comacchio, on the southern Po delta, Italy, during June 1985 stimulated us to investigate the status of the species in the Western Mediterranean (Brichetti and Foschi 1985).
		In addition to the problems of identification discussed by Grant (1984) and the morphological characteristics reported by Cramp (1985), out findings indicate that the combination of the colour and shape of the bill and the grey tail and rump exclude the possibility of confusion with other species, including Sandwich Tern with an anomalous bill colour.

		On Roseate Tern, the dark gray extends out to the tip of the primary but does not hook around so there is no dark trailing edge on the underwing.
		This molt differs from the more commonly observed pattern (primaries and secondaries are all replaced in a sequential pattern over a single period of time) because molt ceases for a period, then later resumes.
		If it is not possible to drive up to the flock, slowly walk towards the group, stopping and scanning until you have reached a sufficiently close distance.

		It was considered specifically distinct from the little tern of Europe, Sterna albifrons Pallas (34), and named Sternula antillarum.
		The west coast subspecies was first described by Mearns in 1916; the type specimen is in the U.S. National Museum, #134773 (29).
		It is also unlawful to possess any wild animal (alive or dead including parts, products, eggs, and offspring) within the U.S. territorial or special maritime jurisdiction (as defined in 18 U.S.C. 7) that is taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of any State law or regulation, foreign law, or Indian tribal law.
