The marsh terns, Trudeau's tern and some Forster's terns nest in inland marshes. The black noddy and the white tern nest above ground level on cliffs or in trees. Migratory terns move to the coast after breeding, and most species winter near land, although some marine species, like the Aleutian tern , may wander far from land.

The whiskered tern (Chlidonias hybrida) is a tern in the family Laridae.The genus name is from Ancient Greek khelidonios, "swallow-like", from khelidon, "swallow".The specific hybridus is Latin for hybrid; Peter Simon Pallas thought it might be a hybrid of white-winged black tern and common tern, writing "Sterna fissipes [Chlidonias leucopterus] et Hirundine [Sterna hirundo] natam".
Forster's tern is a marsh dwelling species. It can be found either in freshwater, brackish or saltwater. It is often found over shallow open water deep in the marsh. [7] Main habitats are marshes, estuaries, islands, salt marshes and marshy areas surrounding lakes and streams. [5] Forster's tern is usually restricted to North America. [6]
This is a somewhat atypical tern, in appearance like a Sterna tern, but with feeding habits more like the Chlidonias marsh terns, black tern and white-winged tern. The Australian gull-billed tern does not normally plunge dive for fish like the other white terns, and has a broader diet than most other terns.
In ecology, a marsh is a wetland that is dominated by herbaceous plants rather than by woody plants. [1] More in general, the word can be used for any low-lying and seasonally waterlogged terrain. In Europe and in agricultural literature low-lying meadows that require draining and embanked polderlands are also referred to as marshes or marshland.
