I couldn’t get eyes on it, but it’s the first I’ve ever heard here.

I'm pasting a link to the eBird species map for the Skimmer - the link is horribly long but it should work: https://ebird.org/map/blkski?neg=true&env.minX=&env.minY=&env.maxX=&env.maxY=&zh=false&gp=false&ev=Z&excludeExX=false&excludeExAll=false&mr=1-12&bmo=1&emo=12&yr=all&byr=1900&eyr=2024 If it doesn't work, you can use the eBird species map to check on this and any other species:  https://ebird.org/map eBird has some great tools to explore birds! I hope this information helps.
