Birds are migrating back into Maine. Their numbers will swell over the next several weeks. We humans could use a good outdoor distraction right now, and many Mainers have been looking forward to spring migration. OK, we’re told that we should keep at least six feet away from our fellow humans. How much distance do the birds need from us? It’s fascinating. Different birds require different comfort margins, and sometimes those margins vary depending on what’s going on. Besides, watching birds is fun. Watching birds watch you – now that’s cool. ~ Bob Duchesne
