The Arctic Tern is one of my favorite birds ever. They're really amazing, migrating from the Arctic to the Antarctic twice a year - 12,000 miles each way! They eat bugs, and they are way cooler than seagulls.
Since we are leaving soon, I really wanted to see the terns again. Fortunately, they just arrived back in Alaska and we took a trip down to the marsh where they nest today.
I love watching them swoop around. They have this weird ability to nearly hover in mid-air. It's so cool!
