Many thanks to Kenn, and also to Greg for getting word out quickly via the listservs. A great bird. A few photos are up on my blog, giving the viewer a realistic semi-distant view of the bird (with good comparison of surrounding species)as it rested amidst the large grouping of Common, Forster's, and Caspian Terns, and Herring, Ring-billed, and Bonaparte's Gulls.

Maumee Bay State Park - There was a rumor that someone saw the Arctic
Tern sometime before 8:00 this morning (Thursday). I got there at 9:30
and had to leave at 11:30. In those two hours the tern was not seen by
anyone. There were about 20 watchers. Gulls and terns were in a large
group on the east end of the beach. Earlier a smaller group was on the
west end.
A birder who planned to stay all day if necessary said he would call me
if the bird was seen. It's now 2:10pm; I've received no call.
