Graceful White Tern Resting on a Tree Branch

Description: The White Tern, also known as Feenseeschwalbe or Gygis alba rothchildi, is a delicate, snow-white bird with large black eyes. Its appearance is ghostly beautiful and fragile, especially when soaring majestically against the deep blue sky. These birds hunt for fish by plunging into the sea from the air. During the day, they feed themselves and then transport their catch back to their young. Explore the breathtaking world of these creatures on the Midway Islands.
