Description: The White Tern (Gygis alba rothschildi) is a delicate, snow-white seabird perched gracefully on a tree stump. With its large black eyes and fairy-like appearance, it captivates viewers worldwide. White Terns glide smoothly against the deep blue sky, appearing so fragile and beautiful that they could be mistaken for creatures from another world. Thousands of White Tern pairs breed on the Midway Islands, gliding with elegance and ease over the waves to catch fish and feed their young.
