Not a sighting. ? about the Arctic Tern

[Jeffrey Livingston]

Jenia and I were planning to drive up and try to see the Arctic Tern tomorrow, Saturday, and are wondering if the location is still accessible with the flooding? If anyone sees it could you please post it? Thanks!

Good evening, 

The gate to the beach is closed at the little toll kiosk but I parked immediately to the left and walked down about 2/10 mile. Tern was present at 5:15pm today but its favorite buoy was removed by park staff and it was flying from beach toward marina shortly to the north.

I almost missed it but noticed it at last moment to capture this meh pic.
