Little Tern
The little tern (Sternula albifrons) is a seabird of the family Sternidae. It was formerly placed into the genus Sterna, which now is restricted to the large white terns. The genus name is a diminutive of Sterna, "tern". The specific albifrons is from Latin albus, "white", and "frons", forehead.
