Black terns By: Unknown photographer From: Wildlife Fact-File 1990s
I like terns. They evoke feelings of nostalgia in me. For places I've been to, I haven't been to, and also for places that probably don't exist.

"A small, graceful marsh tern, black and silver in breeding plumage. In its choice of surroundings, it leads a double life: in North America in summer it is a typical bird of freshwater marshes, but in winter it becomes a seabird along tropical coasts. Vulnerable to loss of marsh habitat, its numbers have decreased in many areas during recent decades."
