Beach birds are a common sight along the shoreline, and include GULLS, terns, and ernes. GULLS are large seabirds with long wings and webbed feet, and are often seen scavenging for food. Terns are smaller than GULLS, and have a distinctive forked tail. They are known for their graceful flight and diving ability. Ernes are the largest of the three beach birds, and have a long, slender bill. They are usually found in coastal areas, and feed on fish and other aquatic creatures.
