Noddies are tropical marine tern-like seabirds that show behavioral and morphological traits more akin to those of gulls than terns. Except around their breeding colonies, the Brown Noddy is seldom seen near land and is highly pelagic, wandering extensively in warm tropical waters where it searches for small fish and squid which are captured by hover-dipping and contact-dipping.
The family is Laridae.
There are 5 species placed in 1 genus.
Anous with 5 species (1)

Skimmers are tern-like birds found in South Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The three species are the only birds with distinctive uneven bills, where the lower mandible is longer than the upper. This remarkable adaptation allows them to fish in a unique way, flying low and fast over streams.
The family is Laridae.
There are 3 species placed in 1 genus.
Rynchops with 3 species (2)
