Least Concern

The Great Crested Tern is a gull, tern, or skimmer of tropical, subtropical, and temperate oceanic coasts and islands. It feeds around water on fish, crustaceans, insects, carrion, or scraps; terns often plunge-dive, gulls patrol coasts and lakes, and skimmers cut the water surface with an elongated lower bill.
