  5. Interesting Facts • Artic tern eggs are laid in grassy areas for protection from predators and because there are no trees in the Artic. • During courtship male terns fly a “fish flight”. They catch a small fish and fly as low as they can to a female on the ground. If she notices him she will join him and will mate soon. • Artic terns do everything to stay out of water. They don’t swim well even though they have webbed feet.
