Xema sabini
- legendaris
- 115 km/h
- Risiko rendah
Forked tail and a wing pattern so striking it looks painted. Nests in the Arctic, winters in the southern oceans.
- Populasi
- Over 340,000 mature individuals; population trend stable
- Habitat
- Breeds colonially on Arctic coastal tundra wetlands, river deltas and estuaries — swampy, moss-and-sedge tundra with many lakes and shallow brackish pools, and low-lying Arctic islands; highly pelagic outside the breeding season, favoring cold-water upwelling zones at sea
- Fakta menarik
- Sabine's Gull makes one of the longest migrations of any gull species, an annual round trip of roughly 32,000-39,000 km between its Arctic breeding grounds and cold-water upwelling zones off Peru or southwest Africa.
- Sebaran
- Near-circumpolar Arctic breeder across northernmost North America and Eurasia; undertakes one of the longest migrations of any gull, a roughly 32,000-39,000 km annual round trip to winter in the Humboldt Current off Peru/Ecuador (Pacific populations) and the Benguela Current off southwest Africa (Atlantic populations)
- Makanan
- Highly varied: terrestrial and aquatic insects (beetles, springtails, craneflies, midges, mosquitoes) on the breeding grounds, plus molluscs, crustaceans, and small fish at sea; occasionally takes eggs or nestlings of other birds
