5. Interesting Facts Artic tern eggs are laid in grassy areas for protection from predators and because there are no trees in the Artic. During courtship male terns fly a fish flight. They catch a small fish and fly as low as they can to a female on the ground. If she notices him she will join him and will mate soon. Artic terns do everything to stay out of water. They dont swim well even though they have webbed feet.
