ARTE chicks on Ore peninsula

[Furbish + Klensch]

Jen Larsen got these good shots today of an Arctic Tern adult feeding a fish to a chick getting near to fledging, and a close-up of the chick.  They were at the edge of Temsco parking, there are some orange pylons marking an area to protect them.

There is at least one other chick in the area.  They are very good a hiding when not being fed, so you may need to be patient to see them.  But look soon, they are growing fast and will be starting to fly soon.

You can see larger versions of these pics in our 2026 web album.  

Thanks, Jen!

Something went wrong with the ARTE tern chick images.  Here is another attempt to show them, hope it works!

The parents sure don't like us being there. There were 3 eggs but happy to see 2 hatched. Tuff spot there for sure! I did see 2 babies myself. AWESOME!!!!
