     he did discover the first Eastern Bluebirds, nesting in a clearcut 
     
     in Strathgartney in July. Scott is doing a bird inventory for the 
     
     Department of Energy and Forestry and has promised an article for 
     
     the next newsletter on the work he did this summer and what he has . 
     
     seen. He has made some incredible sightings and added a lot of 
     
     valuable information regarding our birds.
