Arctic Tern

The Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a tern in the family Laridae. This bird has a circumpolar breeding distribution covering the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America (as far south as Brittany and Massachusetts). The species is strongly migratory, seeing two summers each year as it migrates along a convoluted route from its northern breeding grounds to the Antarctic coast for the southern summer and back again about six months later. Recent studies have shown average annual roundtrip lengths of about 70,900 km (44,100 mi) for birds nesting in Iceland and Greenland^[3] and about 90,000 km (56,000 mi) for birds nesting in the Netherlands.^[4] These are by far the longest migrations known in the animal kingdom. The Arctic tern flies as well as glides through the air. It nests once every one to three years (depending on its mating cycle); once it has finished nesting it takes to the sky for another long southern migration.

Arctic terns are medium-sized birds. They have a length of 28–39 cm (11–15 in) and a wingspan of 65–75 cm (26–30 in).^[5] They are mainly grey and white plumaged, with a red/orangish beak and feet, white forehead, a black nape and crown (streaked white), and white cheeks. The grey mantle is 305 mm, and the scapulae are fringed brown, some tipped white. The upper wing is grey with a white leading edge, and the collar is completely white, as is the rump. The deeply forked tail is whitish, with grey outer webs.

Arctic terns are long-lived birds, with many reaching fifteen to thirty years of age. They eat mainly fish and small marine invertebrates. The species is abundant, with an estimated one million individuals. While the trend in the number of individuals in the species as a whole is not known, exploitation in the past has reduced this bird's numbers in the southern reaches of its range.

Hello! I am an Arctic Tern. I'm just over a foot long and weigh up to 5 ounces. I love to travel. Every winter I follow the winds and flap all the way to the Antarctic. That's a round trip of about 16.000 miles!

There are thousands in our colonies, and we're not bashful about defending ourselves. If an intruder shows up, we'll all fly into the air and dive onto him, scaring him silly, of course.

Some of us live more than 30 years. If you add up all those years of flying it's more than half a million miles! That's farther than a round trip to the moon! Whew, I think I need to lie down.

Whatever the weather we migrate together thousands at a time. And the distance we go is a mere stone's throw from an astronaut's heavenly climb.

You'll always remember this lightweight member of the Arctic all-star team. 'Cause at less than a pound I can travel year-round, never running out of steam.

It's our colony's creed to follow my lead when danger's homing in. We attack in a bunch so we won't become lunch to feather, fur, or fin.
