The Arctic tern is known to make the longest annual migration in the animal kingdom. During its breeding season, it is found far to the north where summer days are long, and it winters far south in the southern hemisphere, where the days are longest during November to February.he Arctic tern is notorious for its long-distance migration between the breeding grounds and the winter quarters in the Southern Ocean. This knowledge has been obtained by ringing and observations of movements at-sea.
Clutches of 3 or more eggs, and most 2-egg clutches laid less than 2 days apart, usually are the result of 2 or more females laying eggs at a single nest-site. For Roseate Terns, incubation usually takes 23-24 days (2 days longer than for Common Terns), and chicks usually fledge 25-28 days after hatching.bout 2,500-2,800 Roseate Terns nested at Great Gull Island, New York, about 280-360 nested at Falkner Island, Connecticut, and about 300 nested on the south shore of Long Island, mostly at Cedar Beach and Shinnecock Bay, New York.
