Stephanie Seymour reports: I went to DeKorte from around 8 to 10:30 am this morning.
  No luck with Skimmers or my nemesis Least Bittern, but saw some great Forster's Tern action.
   I am almost sure I saw 2 Least Terns as well, but since I can't be 100% sure I decided against counting them on eBird.
   Also, there were easily like 300 or 400 or maybe even 500 little Least Sandpipers, but eBird makes a fuss if you report those numbers. So I decided to be WAY conservative and say 150.
   Saw a gorgeous male Baltimore Oriole, 2 Warbling Vireos, and a few Yellow Warblers all in the same area (take path from second back parking lot into a little tree oasis and that's where all these were).
   Full report follows.  (Thanks, Steph!)
