There is a season tern, tern, tern!
Three Royal terns resting on a warm beach. The third is a juvenile, you can note the dark gray wing bars and paler bill. Royal terns don’t gain their adult plumage until three years of age. This species can live up to 30 years in the wild!
A group of Royal terns can be called a “Highness”
