New records and a review of the distribution of the Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea Pontoppidan, 1763 (Aves: Sternidae) in Brazil
We report new records of the Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea Pontoppidan, 1763 for the coast of Rio Grande do Sul, southernmost Brazil. Birds were in first alternate plumage, apparently overwintering in the region. A literature and museum review revealed the existence of 21 localities with records of...
