General
Sturnus sandvicensis -- Sandwich Tern; CharrĂ¡n de Sandwich. Alternate name on piece: Actochelidon cantiaca [Sandwich tern] Drawing on tissue. Apparently based on Gould item 1904, the male has been redrawn with a slightly larger head. The female's beak is closed but, although she is not feeding chicks (see Gould item 1904), still in the lowered position. In the published plate the female's head is lifted, and the beak is open. Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Richter, Henry Constantine.
