Gulls and terns are both found in coastal areas, and, sometimes inland near large lakes and rivers. Both species occur in various combinations of white, gray, and black. However, most terns have a distinguishable black cap on their heads and a sharply forked tail. Gulls are scavengers, feeding on fish, insects, berries and garabage. Terns feed mainly on fish, diving and plunging into the water to catch their meal.
