Tern Range MapThe Black Tern breeds from southwestern and east-central British Columbia and south-central Mackenzie to southern Quebec and southern New Brunswick, south locally to south-central California and northern Utah, across to Nebraska, south-central Illinois, Pennsylvania and Maine. Nonbreeding birds occur in summer south on the Pacific Coast to Panama and in eastern North America to the Gulf Coast. It winters in South America. The Black Tern is found in taiga and on the plains and prairies, where it inhabits shallow marshes, open areas of deeper marshes, reed-bordered sloughs, natural ponds, lakes, fish and stock ponds, shallow river impoundments, wet meadows, river oxbows, ditches, edges of streams and swampy grasslands. In migration, it frequents freshwater and saltwater, occurring along the coast and along marshes, rivers, lakes and nearby cultivated fields. More information about the Black Tern |
