Basic stats

Range

Subarctic; migratory

The Aleutian tern is a migratory bird living in the subarctic region of the globe most of the year, and is frequently associated with the Arctic tern, which it closely resembles. Both have a black cap, but the Aleutian tern may be distinguished by its white forehead, though juvenile Arctic terns also have white foreheads (Wikipedia, general species account).
