The Sandwich Tern is a sleek, medium-sized tern with a ragged black crest and a gleaming black bill with a sharp yellow tip. It's smaller and slimmer than a Royal Tern, a species it often nests alongside in busy, shrieking colonies along the barrier islands of the southeastern U.S.
Its broad global range also includes the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and Europe. Rarely found inland or out to sea, this is a bird of ocean shores and estuaries, where it hunts small schooling fish. Cornell All About Birds
