One of several medium-sized terns that are similar in appearance, the Forster's Tern breeds primarily in marshes and winters along the coasts. The comma-shaped black ear patch in winter plumage is distinctive, but some other plumages are very confusing.

Cool Facts

   

Forster's Tern is the only tern restricted almost entirely to North America throughout the year.

 

Spawning common carp are so vigorous that they can dislodge Forster's Tern eggs from floating nests.

 

Forster's and Black terns breed near each other in marshes. Wandering semi-precocial young may account for observations of each species feeding the other's young.

   

Habitat

   

Breeds in marshes, generally with lots of open water and large stands of island-like vegetation.

 

Winters in marshes, coastal beaches, lakes, and rivers.

   

Food

   

Small fish and arthropods.

Nest Description

   

Varies from unlined scrape in mud or sand, to elaborate raft of floating vegetation, or on top of a muskrat lodge. Typically placed in clumps of marsh vegetation close to open water.

   

Behavior

   

Plunges into water from flight; may hover briefly before plunging.

Today we went to the Roloff Pumpkin Patch!

Briar Patch Inn, located in Oak Creek Canyon outside of Sedona, Arizona

The best thing about our house is the raspberry patch. They were really overgrown when we bought the place so the first year they didn't have berries. We weeded the patch and thinned them. Last year we had so many seedlings, we had to start this new patch on the other side of thw lawn.
