ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО TERN
крачка
Крачки являются морскими птицами в семье Sternidae, которые имеют всемирное распространение и обычно находятся вблизи моря, рек или водно-болотных угодий. Раньше считалось подсемейством чаек Laridae, теперь они обычно получают полный семейный статус и делятся на одиннадцать родов. Они стройные, слегка построенные птицы с длинными раздвоенными хвостами, узкие крылья, длинные купюры и относительно короткие ноги. Их полет плавный и изящный. Большинство видов бледно-серые сверху и белые внизу, с контрастной черной шапкой к голове, но болотные крачки, инков и некоторые ноды имеют темное оперение, по крайней мере, в течение части года. Полы идентичны по внешнему виду, но молодые птицы легко различимы от взрослых. У крачек нет племенного оперения, которое обычно включает белый лоб и сильно уменьшенную черную колпачку. Крачки - птицы открытых мест обитания, которые обычно размножаются в шумных колониях и откладывают яйца на голой земле с небольшим или отсутствующим материалом гнезда. Тем не менее, болотные крачки строят плавающие гнезда из растительности в местах их водно-болотных угодий, а несколько видов строят простые гнезда на деревьях, на скалах или в расщелинах.
