A migratory shorebird is a bird that travels between different habitats, often between continents, in order to find food and suitable nesting sites. The term 'migratory shorebird' is often used to refer to species of birds that live near the coast or on the shoreline of bodies of water. One example of a migratory shorebird is the TERN, which is a seabird that typically has long, pointed wings and a forked tail. Terns are found in many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. They migrate long distances in order to find food and suitable nesting sites.
