Abstract
The large-billed tern Phaetusa simplex, is a South American species that breeds mostly inland on sandy river bars. While common, little is known about its demography. A nestling banded in July 2011 in a breeding colony on the Cuiabá River, in the Brazilian Pantanal, was recovered after 13 years and two months. It was found near another breeding colony 73 km upstream from where it hatched, setting a new longevity record for the species.
