Fascinating Facts About Terns

Terns are famous for making extraordinary long-distance migrations, with some species traveling from the Arctic to the Antarctic every year. They plunge headfirst into the water from the air to catch small fish near the ocean surface. Their long, narrow wings give them exceptional speed and agility while flying over open waves.

Natural Colors of the Tern and Harbor

  • Tern feathers: crisp white body with soft gray upper wings and a black cap
  • Tern beak and feet: vibrant reddish-orange or deep yellow
  • Wooden pier posts: weathered gray-brown and muted timber shades
  • Sea water: deep ocean blue, turquoise, and white foam
  • Harbor surroundings: natural coastal sand and pale stone tones
