O QUE SIGNIFICA TERN EM INGLÊS
Tern
Terns são aves marinhas na família Sternidae que têm uma distribuição mundial e normalmente são encontradas perto do mar, rios ou zonas húmidas. Anteriormente considerado uma subfamília das gaivotas, Laridae, agora eles geralmente recebem status familiar completo e divididos em onze gêneros. Eles são pássaros delgados, levemente construídos com caudas longas, asas estreitas, contas longas e pernas relativamente curtas. Seu vôo é dinâmico e gracioso. A maioria das espécies são cinza pálido acima e branco abaixo, com uma tampa preta contrastante na cabeça, mas os pântanos, o Inca tern e alguns noddies têm plumagem escura durante pelo menos parte do ano. Os sexos são de aparência idêntica, mas as aves jovens são facilmente distinguíveis dos adultos. Terns tem uma plumagem não reprodutiva, que geralmente envolve uma testa branca e uma tampa preta muito reduzida. As sardinhas são pássaros de habitats abertos que geralmente se reproduzem em colônias ruidosas e colocam seus ovos em um solo ninho com pouco ou nenhum material de ninho. No entanto, os pântanos construem ninhos flutuantes da vegetação em seus habitats de zonas húmidas e algumas espécies criam ninhos simples em árvores, em penhascos ou em fendas.
