The Fairy Tern (Gygis alba) pair gracefully glides above the turquoise waters of Cousin Island in the Republic of Seychelles. These elegant birds, also known as White Terns, can be spotted flocking in flight overhead on Christmas Island / Kiritimati, creating a mesmerizing spectacle against the clear blue sky. Marianne Island in Seychelles, located in Africa's Indian Ocean, is home to numerous Common White Terns (Gygis alba), showcasing their ethereal beauty amidst lush tropical surroundings. Meanwhile, across the vast expanse of North America's Northwestern Hawaiian Islands lies Midway Atoll, where these stunning white terns continue to thrive. Denis Island in Seychelles offers another glimpse into the enchanting world of Gygis alba. Here, Common white-terns gracefully soar through the skies above this idyllic island paradise situated in Africa's Indian Ocean. As we venture further westward to Hawaii - a true haven for avian enthusiasts - we encounter these magnificent creatures once again. The USA's Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and Midway Atoll provide sanctuary for White Terns or Fairy Terns (Gygis alba), offering them protection and an ideal habitat to flourish. In contrast to these serene moments with Gygis alba species soaring effortlessly through pristine skies are scenes from Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. Snow geese take flight alongside other migratory birds like those found on Denis Island and throughout Hawaii. Whether it be on remote islands or within protected wildlife refuges across continents, Gygis alba captivates us with its elegance and grace. From Cousin Island to Marianne Island and beyond, these common fairy terns remind us of nature's wonders that exist both near and far from our own backyards.
