Coatue

Josh got a hot tip that there were scallops between First and Second Point on Coatue,  and my haul on Friday inspired us to go out and check it out.  Another great spot!  And a spot to see a huge flock of red-breasted mergansers arrive in Nantucket Harbor....and to see the relative sizes of a herring gull and a ring-billed gull...and a late oystercatcher...and the colors of fall on Coatue.
