2000 Econoline starter problem

My 2000 econoline e150 with 102k miles is having starting issues in the cold. It starts fine when warm, or the engine is warm. When engine cools to freezing and I try to start, I hear a click. Door locks are not sluggish, headlights are bright and the blower sounds fast and I keep the van connected to a battery tender so I believe I have a charged battery. I keep turning the ignition and eventually the starter will engage, and the engine will sputter a bit and then run fine.

I did a forum search and haven't come up with a situation that matches this. Is it the starter or the solenoid? Could it be something else that I have not considered?
