[cobirds] Arctic Tern pics

Folks,
 
Joe Roller had located the ARTE just before I arrived.  It was west of the fisherman's pier and best viewed from the edge of the lake there.  It never came in close to shore as these pictures demonstrate.  Instead it stayed on the center buoys and fished the middle part of the west lake, between the swim beach and the fisherman's pier.  Other birds at Chatfield included a Common Loon, 4 Red-necked Phalaropes and lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers.  I have not seen the Red-necked Grebe in a few days and there are no Palm Warblers in Douglas County!
