Social distancing is easy on Nantucket in March, at least at this point. I hiked to Coskata Woods from Wauwinet today. It's a little over two miles. Spring is coming- the new blades of beach grass are emerging, although the heather is still gray. The herring and great black-backed gulls joined me, along with buffleheads, white-winged scoters, surf scoters, sanderlings, song sparrows and yellow-rump warblers. I had hoped to see an oystercatcher, since they were seen for the first time on Sunday at both Jackson Point and Quaise Point, but they were not at Coskata. Temperature: 35 degrees; Wind ENE 13-15 mph. Bumped into Skyler Kardell walking back on the beach! (We kept 6 feet apart...)
