Small to medium-sized seabirds closely related to the gulls and skuas.

Back of card caption:
COMMON TERN (Sterna hirundo)
The flight of the Common Tern is strong, graceful and erratic. The tern is found in both the Old and New World, both inland and at sea. In America it breeds from the northern United States and the Canadian provinces down the Atlantic and Gulf coasts to Texas and in the Bahamas. In winter it ranges from Florida south on the Atlantic side of South America to Patagonia and on the Pacific to Ecuador. It nests preferably on sandy or gravelly places on islands or on shores where it frequently makes little nest except for a depression on the sand. The spotted eggs number two or three; both the eggs and the young are difficult to see on the sand. This harmless bird eats small fish, crustaceans, aquatic worms and insects.
