Our neighbors say they have never seen skimmers along this part of the Oregon coast. Well, here they are, on the beach in front of our home!

I never knew they came that far north, Sandy.  Excellent documentation and a very good image.  I just glanced at the range map on IBird and it doesn't show them much north of central California.
