The Roseate Tern, a small to medium-sized bird, is native to islands and coastlines. This bird is a little over one foot in length and has a two foot wingspan. The Roseate Tern feeds by plunge-diving into the water to retrieve fish. Its environment in mainly marine, and it is less often associated with fresh water habitats.
