  1. Arctic tern Arctic  «AHRK tick or AHR tick», tern, is a sea bird often called the migration champion of the world. It migrates over a greater distance than any other bird. The Arctic tern is about 17 inches (43 centimeters) long; has bluish-gray, black, and white feathers; and has red feet and a red bill. Arctic terns breed on Atlantic seacoasts from New England to Greenland and the northernmost islands of the Arctic Ocean, and on the coasts of the northern North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. Late in August, the birds and their young begin a long journey to the shores of Antarctica and nearby islands. Later, the birds fly north once more, arriving in the Arctic about mid-June.
