Any one of numerous species of long-winged aquatic birds,

their longer and more pointed wings. The tail is
usually forked. Most of the species are white with the
back and wings pale gray, and often with a dark head.
The common European tern (Sterna hirundo) is found
also in Asia and America. Among other American species
are the arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea), the roseate
tern (Sterna Dougalli), the least tern (Sterna
Antillarum), the royal tern (Sterna maxima), and the
sooty tern (Sterna fuliginosa).
