Cabot Tern

Cabot Tern

Description: Cabot's tern (Thalasseus acuflavidus) is a tern in the family Laridae formerly considered as a subspecies of the Sandwich tern. It has since been shown to be more closely related to the elegant tern (Thalasseus elegans).[1] The genus name is from Ancient Greek Thalasseus, "fisherman" from thalassa, "sea". The specific acuflavida is Latin from acus, "needle", and flavidus, "yellowish".[2] The IOC recognizes the bird as distinct.
