how the heck do you add more than one image...

Larry Manfredi kept asking about tail length. The tail on this guy seemed shorter than the primaries, although not by much, but Sibley has the tail short like this in the juvenile, so Arctic doesn't seem out of the question. The tern seemed tired. Toe said the tail looked beat up. When it flew the wings were really pale. I hope it is still there for those of you who make the trek out to see it.
