The term 'Beach Eagle' is a nickname for the TERN, a seabird that is found in coastal areas around the world. The TERN is known for its long, pointed wings and its graceful, swooping flight. It is also known for its loud, shrill call, which can be heard from far away. The TERN feeds mainly on small fish, which it catches by diving into the water. It nests on beaches and other coastal areas, often in large colonies.
