Why it matters
The yellow-billed tern (*Sternula superciliaris*) is a small, agile riverine bird found throughout the wetlands and waterways of South America. It is distinguished by its sharp, pointed wings and deeply forked tail, which allow for the precise, darting flight patterns necessary for capturing small fish in open water.
