About These Birds
Atlantic White Tern
白燕鸥是分布于热带海洋的优美鸟类，全身纯白，眼大而深色，喙细长。独特之处在于直接将单枚卵产在裸露的树枝或岩石上，不筑巢。广泛分布于太平洋和印度洋的热带岛屿，以小型鱼类和甲壳类为食，飞行优雅灵活。
Fairy Tern
Fairy Tern, 22–25 cm, breeds in southern Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia on sandy beaches. White and pale grey with an orange-yellow bill; delicate and buoyant in flight. Piscivore; hovers and plunge-dives in shallow coastal and estuarine waters. Vulnerable due to beach disturbance.
