	Terns: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		Arctic terns are very aggressive, especially on their breeding grounds.
		Arctic tern numbers are harder to estimate since they usually do not breed in large colonies like other waterbirds; also they seem to move their colonies from year to year.
		Tern eggs and hatchlings are particularly vulnerable to predators, and terns are very sensitive to intrusions in their breeding areas.

	Tern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Terns are seabirds in the family Sternidae, previously considered a subfamily Sterninae of the gull family Laridae.
		Many terns breeding in temperate zones are long-distance migrants, and the Arctic Tern probably sees more daylight than any other creature, since it migrates from its northern breeding grounds to Antarctic waters.
		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.

	Arctic Tern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae.
		One particularly spectacular example involved an Arctic Tern ringed as a chick not yet able to fly, on the Farne Islands off the Northumberland coast in eastern Britain in summer 1982, which reached Melbourne, Australia in October 1982, a sea journey of over 22,000 km (14,000 miles) in just three months from fledging.
		On the wintering grounds, Arctic Tern also has to be distinguished from the Antarctic Tern Sterna vittata and Kerguelen Tern Sterna virgata; the six-month difference in moult is the best clue here, with Arctic Terns being in winter plumage during the southern summer.

	Little Tern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Little Tern (Sterna albifrons) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae.
		It is strongly migratory, wintering in the subtropical and tropical oceans as far south as Peru and Brazil (Least Tern), South Africa and Australia.
		In the United States, the interior population of the least tern was listed as an endangered species in 1985, due to loss of habitat caused by dams, reservoirs, channelization, and other changes to river systems.
