Forster’s Tern – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Forster’s Tern:
The Forster’s Tern is a smaller member of the family Sternidae. It’s about 13-14 inches long (33-36 cm) with a wingspan of 25-28 inches (64-70 cm.) It’s closely resembled the Common Tern but has a gray center to it’s white tail. The Forster’s tern feeds by plunge-diving for fish, but will also hawk for insects in its breeding marshes. It usually feeds from saline environments in winter, like most Sterna terns. It normally dives directly, and not from the “stepped-hover” favored by the Arctic tern. The offering of fish by the male to the female is part of the courtship display

Artist’s notes:
The Forster’s Tern was completed on 2.22.14. For the last few months I’ve been putting together of birds native to the Mid-Atlantic coastline. I looked at several different reference photos of the Forster’s Tern, and changed my mind a few time before settling on an excellent photo by Lee Greengrass. I’ll be adding a few more images and put the collage together in 2-3 weeks.
