OLDEST CORNERSTONE IS DETERIORATINGTo the Editor:
At the conjunction of University Avenue and Green’s View is a wooded lot of perhaps 20 acres. In its center is the cornerstone of Sewanee’s fi rst building. It is concrete and subject to the vicissitudes of the atmosphere. The inscription on it grows dimmer by the year. Since this is the most historic bit of our university, it is a pity we aren’t taking care of it. The cornerstone—all that’s left of the Union army’s 1863 destruction of the building—is 150 years old.

COMMISSIONERS REPORT ON AMBULANCE SERVICE, EXPRESS THANKSTo the Editor:
We wanted to let you know what happened Monday [March 16, at the Franklin County Commission meeting].
We passed a resolution that gave Franklin EMS the primary coverage from the University Domain gate on the Cowan Road on up the mountain and all of the Sherwood valley. Rural Metro will cover from the gate down and all of the Franklin County valley as its primary service.
We also passed a resolution that we recommend to the state that the local officials have the option to have the school director elected or appointed.
We want to express our thanks to all of the community members in Sewanee and Sherwood who helped us get this ambulance resolution passed. Whether it was signing a petition, making a telephone call or showing up at the meeting on a bit-terly cold and snowy night, we want to thank you. Thanks to Pat Shetters, Monty Adams and Jerry Forster for speaking at the January meeting. We want to thank Dennis Jones, director of Sewanee EMS, and Don Hutcheson of Franklin EMS for all their valu-able input. Thanks to the Messenger for helping us keep the community informed.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION IN JEOPARDY, MEETING TONIGHTTo the Editor:
Do you want a Fourth of July celebration this year? If so, then you must step up to the plate!
Due to family illness, our cur-rent chairs are unable to participate this year, and two of our committee members will be out of town.
So, I am having a meeting for all who believe they can help in some way this year. Please come to my home this evening, Thursday, March 26, at 6:30 p.m. If you cannot attend and want to help, call me (598-5864) and leave a message, if I am not home.

NEW MEXICO DEATH PENALTY REPEAL APPLAUDEDTo the Editor:
New Mexico has done the right thing by repealing its death penalty. Capital punishment is not an effec-tive deterrent to capital crime. The millions wasted on it would be bet-ter used for crime victims’ services, crime prevention programs and increased personnel for law enforce-ment agencies.
Given our current economic crisis, lawmakers must eliminate those programs which are unworkable. The death penalty is unworkable; we get it wrong too often, it isn’t fairly applied, and it shifts the focus away from victims. Moreover, it contains no protections against wrongful convic-tions and executions. One hundred thirty men and women have been exonerated from death row from 1973 to the present, one of them from Tennessee.
As a step toward addressing these problems, I call on our legislators and Governor Bredesen to examine the Tennessee Death Penalty Study Com-mittee report and issue a moratorium on executions. We can do better for Tennessee.

SCIENCE FAIR SUCCESSTo the Editor:
The Sewanee Elementary Science Fair has come and gone and again I am so impressed with the creativity and hard work of our students. Stu-dents from prekindergarten to fi fth grade participated and showed their wide range of science interests.
I would especially like to thank representatives from Shaw Indus-tries, Nissan, UTSI, AEDC, Emerald-Hodgson Hospital and the University of the South, who donated time out of their busy schedules to come in and meet with our students and listen to their presentations.
I also want to thank our faculty and staff for their help in making the Science Fair such a huge success. Thank you, Mr. Maxon, for all you do for our school!
The Science Fair would not be the success it is without strong support from our parents, and I am so grate-ful. Your dedication to your children’s education makes all the difference. Thank you for working with your children on their projects and en-couraging them to do their best.
Finally, I want to thank our stu-dents. You never cease to amaze me with your clever ideas. I am so proud of all of you

SUD OBJECTION TO RELEASE OF FUNDS COMMENDEDTo the Editor:
The Sewanee Utility District (SUD) is to be complimented for its wise decision to object swiftly and decisively to Grundy County Mayor LaDue Bouldin’s apparent attempt to break with those who favor regional water planning. It was learned through a legal notice that appeared in a recent edition of the Grundy County Herald that Bouldin is applying to Tennessee Depart-ment of Economic and Community Development (TECD) initially for $1 million in federal funds for the much-discussed pipeline from the Tennessee River to the South Cum-berland Plateau. This “go it alone” move seems very much counter to the efforts by Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) to move forward on regional water planning. TDEC’s efforts have included SUD, Monteagle, Tracy City and Big Creek, along with the Army Corps of Engineers.
The SUD objection is based on: 1. Failure of Grundy County to
provide an Environmental Assess-ment based on National Environmen-tal Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).
2. Failure of Grundy County to provide a copy of the Environmental Review Record (ERR) referenced in the legal notice when requested by the public.
3. Negative environmental impact of millions of gallons of additional effluent discharge on Monteagle’s failing sewer system.
4. Failure to consider the the com-prehensive and long-term fi nancial impact of the project.
SUD’s previous position on re-gional water planning was approved by the board on Feb. 12, 2008. A copy of this previous policy and the detailed text of the current objection can be found at <http://southcumberlandca.blogspot.com>.

You can’t avoid them these days —newspaper and mail advertisements offering hearing aids at “discount prices.” With all the choices today, it can be confusing. What’s the right style for you, what does “digital” really mean, where should you get hearing aids and how much should they cost?
Your most important decision is where to receive your hearing health care. After all, you probably don’t choose your physician or your dentist based on a newspaper ad!
Good hearing health care includes:1. A complete audiological evaluation of your hearing loss and hearing
needs.2. A comprehensive review of available hearing aids by style, technology
and cost.3. Follow-up visits to ensure that you’re hearing as well as possible.4. An explanation of other sources of help, such as assisted listening devices
for telephone, movies or television.5. Regular hearing checkups to monitor your hearing and your hearing aids.
Remember, you’re not just choosing hearing aids; you’re choosing your hearing health care provider. We value the confi dence you place in us at the Hearing Center, LLC.

Passiontide at Christ Church
MonteagleIn some churches the last two
weeks of Lent are called “Passion-tide.” This little season within a season starts to look toward the cross. During these two weeks of Lent all crosses, pictures of Christ and other art forms which “tell the old, old story” are covered with veils. In some churches the term First Passion Sunday and Second Passion Sunday are used, although the second one is better known as Palm Sunday, a name which is used by the vast ma-jority of churches.
One special event this year on March 29, among many at Christ Church during Passiontide, is the singing of “My song is love unknown.” Brianna Atkinson, soloist, will be ac-companied by Lee Russell, organist. The service begins at 10:30 a.m.
On all Wednesdays in Lent the study of some of the writings of the early church will continue. Lunch is served each Wednesday and Sunday. All are welcome.

F.C. Republican Regular Meeting
April 1A regular meeting of Franklin
County Republicans will be held on Thursday, April 1, in the Franklin County Courthouse. A short busi-ness meeting will be called to order promptly at 6:30 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer period.
The Board of Commissioners of the Sewanee Utility District (SUD) of Franklin and Marion Counties held a Special Called Meeting on Tuesday, March 17, to discuss a public notice posted by Grundy County in the Grundy County Herald which an-nounced a “fi nding of no signifi cant impact on the human environment” and the “intent to request release of funds” for a $1-million project to pipe water from the Tennessee River to the South Cumberland Plateau.
Bringing those attending up to date on the history of the proposed pipeline project, SUD commissioner Rick Sommer explained that Grundy County initially approached the Ten-nessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) about constructing a pipeline to address the county’s water shortage. Finding TDEC unresponsive, in early 2008 Grundy County officials applied for funding from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Com-munity Development (TECD); as an “impacted county” in the 2007 drought, Grundy County qualified for TECD funds. (The city of Mon-teagle and much of Grundy County ran out of water during the drought and received emergency assistance from SUD and the Tracy City water utility.)
In its initial response to the pipe-line proposal, on Feb. 12, 2008, the SUD board passed a resolution call-ing for a thorough investigation of all alternatives and a commitment to cooperative regional planning among the utilities located on the Plateau to address the area’s water
SUD Board Issues Offi cial Objection to Monteagle Water Project
supply needs. SUD President Doug Cameron
pointed out that TDEC had likewise stressed the need for regional plan-ning solutions. Taking issue with the pipeline proposal, Cameron noted that it would supply water only to the Monteagle community and did not include provisions for pretreatment, chlorination or maintenance of the pipeline.
In regard to the March 5 public notice in the Grundy County Herald, several SUD customers attending the meeting expressed concern that no data existed to substantiate the “fi nd-ing of no signifi cant impact” on the environment. In support of the claim, the notice cited “the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on fi le at the Grundy County offices;” however, SUD customer Bob Childress made several requests and could not obtain a copy of the ERR.
President Cameron found further fault with the public notice for listing the location of the proposed pipeline as Grundy and Marion Counties, omitting Franklin County, which the pipeline would necessarily pass through, as well.
Former SUD commissioner Lyle Brecht observed that the pipeline could cause SUD to incur fi nancial liabilities. Brecht referenced similar pipeline projects in Arizona, Cali-fornia and Colorado, where budget overruns by the utility initiating the project led to government mandates that neighboring utilities share in the cost.
Sommers speculated the timing of the public notice was related to appli-cation requirements set by TECD. The notice stipulated that objections to the project and to the release of funds request be submitted by March 20.
The SUD Board drafted a detailed letter addressing the potential envi-ronmental and fi nancial impacts of the project. Copies were sent to TECD, TDEC, and the Grundy County Gov-ernment. The letter is posted on the SUD website, sewaneeutility.org.

Democratic Party Meetings Set
County reorganizing meetings of the Tennessee Democratic Party are slated for this weekend. In Franklin County, the meeting is Saturday, March 28, from 11 a.m. until noon, in the Franklin County Courthouse, 1 South Jefferson St., Winchester; in Grundy County, the meeting is at 10 a.m. March 28 at the Grundy County Courthouse in Altamont and Sue Par-rott is chairman; in Marion County, the meeting is set for March 28 at noon in the Juvenile Courtroom on Academy Street in Jasper. All mem-bers of the Democratic Party are urged to attend.
Monteagle Sewage Tank Failure
The primary intake tank at the Monteagle sewage treatment plant collapsed early Sunday morning, March 15, dumping about 100,000 gallons of untreated raw sewage over the ground and into Juanita Creek, which flows toward Gilliam Creek and eventually into the Elk River.
A steel wall of the 23-year-old tank gave way. The Monteagle Police Department discovered the problem at about 4 a.m. on Sunday. When Ten-nessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) offi cials arrived, effl uent was continuing to run from the town’s sewage lines into the ground and Juanita Creek. The city chlorinated the creek until the sewage was rerouted that day around the failed tank. It is estimated that 750,000 gallons were released before the work was completed.
The city of Monteagle is providing bottled drinking water for residents whose wells have been contami-nated in Pelham valley. Public water systems in the area have not been affected.

E. Coli Found in Woods ReservoirOffi cials at the Arnold Engineer-
ing Development Center have issued a warning restricting swimming, wading and water skiing on Woods Reservoir because of elevated levels of E. coli found in the water.
AEDC increased monitoring of water quality on Arnold Air Force Base’s Woods Reservoir due to the spill of raw sewage in Monteagle on March 15 and the possibility that the spill could migrate to the Elk River and then into Woods Reservoir. The source of the high levels of E. coli is unknown and has not been linked to the Monteagle spill.
Boating and fishing are not re-stricted, but people are urged not to expose themselves to lake water. Any fi sh caught in Woods Reservoir should be washed and fully cooked.

Though Buzz and Vicki Spivey’s last child graduated from St. An-drew’s-Sewanee School in 2007, these SAS Angels come to the campus each spring to clean the St. Mary’s water garden, located in the Carter Memo-rial Courtyard.
Parents of Monroe (’04) and Kav (’07), the Spiveys travel from their home in McMinnville to make this gift of labor to the school. Fortunately, after a dormant winter season in the water garden, the fi sh survived. This year the Spiveys not only cleaned the garden but also installed fi lters and a pump to control algae. Phebe Carter Hethcock dedicated the courtyard in 1992 in honor of her parents.
Two years ago, St. Andrew’s-Se-wanee School established a volunteer support group called SAS Angels.

On March 12, the Franklin County School Board selected two candidates for callback interviews to fill the director of schools position, vacant since Charles Edmonds resigned in September 2008. All eight board members voted for Rebecca S. Shar-ber, and fi ve voted for James “Kip” Stevens, making these two individu-als the top two choices for the posi-tion. Three members voted for Harold “Red” Roberts.
The votes were not ranked, a pro-cedure recommended by the Tennes-see School Boards Association, the organization hired by the district to administer the selection process. The board met with Stevens all day on March 23 and will meet with Sharber today, March 26, for tours of several schools, including individual conver-sations with board members, and a mixer with teachers, staff and the community from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the central offi ce. Everyone interested in meeting the candidate is welcome to attend. The board will interview each candidate at 6 p.m. in the board-room; the interviews are open to the public.

FREE Cinema Guild Movie Tonight Thursday, March 26, at 7:30 p.m.Sewanee Union TheatrePerformance105 minutes • Directed by Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell • R • 1970
From www.netfl ix.com: On the lam from his gangland cohorts, mob muscleman Chas Devlin (James Fox) gets more than he bargained for after taking refuge with reclusive, faded rock star Turner (Mick Jagger) and his gal pals (Anita Pallenberg and Michèle Breton). The two-bit enforcer soon fi nds himself ensnared in Turner’s hedonistic lifestyle and trapped in kinky mind games designed to challenge Chas’ sense of identity and to rid Turner of his creative inertia.

“Green Art on the Mountain” at SAS
St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School’s Gallery seeks “green art” for the third “Green Art on the Mountain” exhibi-tion. Work is due on April 13 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and may be offered for sale. A festive reception for the artists will be held on Sunday, April 19, from 1 to 3 p.m., to coincide with the native plant sale during “Trails and Trilliums.”
Artists are encouraged to bring one or two pieces to the gallery that are “green” in some form or fashion. Concepts, materials and palette qualify for inclusion. This year there are two new twists: water and awards. The theme of water is being emphasized. Green work that does not address water will also be included. The other new twist is that modest awards will be given for the greenest piece and the piece that best addresses the water theme.
The fi nished carillonAt the time, the Polk Carillon was the third largest in the world, at least
in terms of the number of bells (56)! More importantly, Bigelow thought the tuning of the bells was “as perfect as it was possible to make. ... [The profi le of the bells] allows an even timbre from bass to treble, permitting a more constant intensity. This means that the high bells will be just as important as the lower ones, not losing tonal effect because they weigh less.” In the publicity piece “To Polk and Sewanee: A Carillon,” Bigelow was further quoted as saying the Polk Carillon is “one of the largest and most important in the world.” Bigelow was very proud of his Polk Carillon and thought the installation was the most successful one he had done.
The dedicatory recitalBigelow returned to Sewanee on several occasions after the installation
in 1958, but his most memorable visit was for the April 12, 1959, dedicatory recital. On the fi rst page of the red leather Leonidas Polk Memorial Caril-lon Concert Register and Autograph Book for Carillonneurs, Arthur Ben Chitty, then director of public relations, wrote the following description of the event: “The premiere concert was a great occasion. On the lawn were about a thousand people with many more remaining in their cars, listening to the ceremony over station WCDT. Only the unfavorable weather kept the event from being perfect. A rain the previous day left mud puddles, the sky was overcast and the temperature about 40°. There were more autos than anyone remembered having seen at Sewanee. … The music of the bells seemed to surprise everyone. For perhaps nine-tenths of the audience it was the fi rst experience of its kind. Professor Bigelow played with great vivacity and versatility an extremely varied program. The few seasoned carillon-listeners pronounced the instrument and the performance mag-nifi cent. One of the workmen stood throughout the ringing of the Bourdon with his hat over his heart and tears streaming down his face.
“When the concert was over, Bigelow remained [at the keyboard] for ten minutes extra to pose for some movie cameramen. For a few moments he simply simulated the striking of the clavier, but then enthusiasm swept over him and he broke into a wild and beautiful series of chords and runs, literally bouncing from one end of his bench to the other. As he left the bell-ringers cubicle he said, ‘This is the greatest day of my life. There is no such instrument in the world. I am supremely happy about it.’”
A newspaper clipping from the Nashville Tennessean said, “About 5000 persons gathered … for the dedication. Then they went to parked automo-biles and surrounding buildings for the fi rst concert to be played on the carillon.” Without knowing of Chitty’s comments, one would wonder why the listeners had retreated from the immediate vicinity of the tower!

Parker Art Exhibition and Honors Talkogy and human rights within the artistic fi eld. Following graduation Parker will travel to Haiti for a second time for the purposes of documen-tary photography, after which he hopes to intern for the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, D.C.
His thesis works, which are digi-tally composed and manipulated photo-collages, are “surreal land-scapes that seem caught between reality and corrupted fantasy.” He goes on to say of his imagery, “I use these landscapes to discuss and ex-amine the paradox of ignored poverty within a globally informed society of wealth. This paradox, however specifi c, exemplifi es the larger theme of power struggle.”
The department cordially invites the Sewanee community to the exhi-bition and talk.

Coach Baker’s Wins Surpass
Legendary Coach Shirley Majors
Behind the arm of junior Logan Ray of Estill Springs, Tenn., and the bat of freshman Taylor Barrett, vet-eran Sewanee baseball coach Scott Baker became the all-time school leader in career wins March 18, sur-passing the legendary Shirley Majors, as the Tigers defeated Hamilton Col-lege in Winter Haven, Fla. The win was the 107th for Baker.
Coach Majors, known mainly for his successful football coaching career at Sewanee, guided the Tiger baseball program from 1961–70, winning 106 games during that time.
“It’s very humbling to be men-tioned in the same breath with Coach Majors. I owe all the credit for the record to the Sewanee players dur-ing my time here. The players win the games,” said Baker, following the win.
Skip Äymett of Germantown, Tenn., a freshman fencer at the Uni-versity, took 6th place among 42 epee-ists at the Dean Richard Memorial Tournament at Vanderbilt University on March 14, thereby earning his Na-tional C rating.
He placed fi rst in his fi rst round pool with a 4-1 recor d, losing only to B-rated Robyn Shaffer of Vanderbilt, the winner of the women’s competi-tion, and defeating the A-rated vet-eran French epee champion Roland Vincent by a score of 5-2, his second victory over an A in two weeks.
In the fi rst round of direct elimina-tions he defeated Mike Greene of the Huntsville Fencing Club, 15-8, scor-ing 8 of the last 9 touches, and in the second round bested Vincent again, by a score of 15-12, qualifying for the quarterfi nals and earning his C.
Sewanee Freshman Fencer Earns National Rating
In the quarterfi nals he faced the tall and lightning-fast A-rated Brent-wood Reid of the Fairbanks (Alaska) Fencing Club, and lost by a very cred-itable 15-9 score.
By finishing 6th Äymett (who entered seeded 25th) fi nished ahead of one A (Vincent) and seven B-rated fencers, including the two epeeists considered the best in Tennessee, Justin Powell of Nashville and the Vanderbilt coach, Brian Casper.
Dale Sweeney, a coach with the Sewanee Fencing Club, said, “Skip has been getting better all year, and this time he put it all together. He fenced with impeccable style, superb sense of distance, and his trademark psycho-logical control, and demonstrated he will be a force to be reckoned with in this area in the future.”
The Birmingham-Southern Pan-thers swept both ends of an SCAC softball doubleheader from Sewanee March 21 in Birmingham, Ala. The Panthers took the opener 9-0 and the nightcap 20-0.
In the fi rst game, Courtney Hinkle (Tallahassee, Fla.) went the distance on the mound for Sewanee and was tagged with the loss. Hinkle allowed nine runs on 10 hits. Freshman Regan Rau (Houston) picked up Sewanee’s only two hits in the game, going a
Birmingham Sweeps Softball DHperfect 2-for-2.
In game 2, Birmingham-Southern plated 13 runs in the bottom of the fi rst inning to cruise to the 20-0 vic-tory. Rau was charged with the loss for the Tigers, Rau, Morgan Cannon (Vidalia, Ga.) and Deanna Gonzalez (Upper Marlboro, Md.) each had a hit to lead Sewanee at the plate.
The Tigers and the Panthers will complete the SCAC series tomorrow with doubleheader action beginning at 2 p.m in Birmingham.
Track and Field Team Kicks Off Outdoor SeasonDuring a day fi lled with rain and
delays, the 2009 track and fi eld Tigers competed in the fi rst track meet ever held at Birmingham-Southern on March 14. “Our team did a good job in terrible weather conditions to kick off our outdoor season. With some hard work, we should have many athletes reach their goals by the end of the season,” said Sewanee coach Jeff Heitzenrater.
Allan Long had the top Tiger fi nish in a fi eld of many Division I teams, with a fourth-place fi nish in the 100 hurdles with a time of 15.56. Jeremy Character was ninth in the shot with a throw of 40-06. The men’s 4x400 relay was also seventh in a fi eld of 21 teams. For the women, Rachel Watson was fi fth in the javelin in her fi rst competition of the year, with a throw of 91-04. She was also eighth in the discus, with a throw of 105-09.

Sewanee competed at the 2009 Jekyll Island Collegiate Invitational last weekend and fi nished play in the 24th team spot. Huntingdon College led, followed by Methodist and host Oglethorpe. The Tigers shot rounds of 319 and 330 on Friday and Satur-day, before improving to 315 for the fi nal day.
Neil Dyer (Brentwood, Tenn.) was 91st to lead the Tigers with rounds of 80, 85 and 74.Chris Beveridge (Alex-andria, Va.) was next with rounds of 77, 83 and 80. Robert Osburne (Au-gusta, Ga.), Alex Irwin (Richmond, Va.) and Martin Tilson (Atlanta) fol-lowed to round out the Tiger fi ve.

The SCAC is placing special em-phasis on sportsmanship this year, asking all fans of the conference to exhibit good sportsmanship at all conference functions throughout the 2008–09 season.
Each head coach was asked to elect one member from his or her
Sewanee Swimming: Steuer and Barrineau Honored for Sportsmanship
team who displayed good sportsman-ship throughout the season. “Sarah and Joey embody all that is honorable in Division III sports,” said Coach Max Obermiller. “They believe in the positive, life-changing capacity of sports to raise [individuals] into their better selves. They believe that teams are more than a collection of individuals, that by working together they can accomplish almost anything. And they love their school and cher-ish the interactions with their team-mates. I couldn’t ask for two better representatives for this award,” said Obermiller.
South Middle School boys’ soccer team evened their conference slate with back-to-back shutouts on con-secutive nights, beating White County at home 5-0 on March 16, then trav-eled to Manchester on March 17, and blanked Coffee County Middle 3-0.

On March 19, rivals North and South gave the crowd their money’s worth, with South clawing out an exciting 1-0 conference win. The Gator’s strong defense led by Takato

Nature NotesWaterfowl in Woods Reservoir
The most recent Friday the 13th—March 2009—was a lucky day for Jean and Harry Yeatman and Joy dog. They went to Woods Reservoir to observe waterfowl. The water level had been let down for work on the dam. This exposed sandy, muddy areas near the shores and thousands of Asian clams (Corbicula fl uminea), providing food for waterfowl and other large birds for most of the winter and early spring. Even Turkey
Vultures, Black Vultures and Great Blue Herons were feasting on the bounty. The clams that attracted the birds were being popped open, contents eaten and the shell halves abandoned sticking together at the hinges.
In one area, beauti-ful Bufflehead Ducks (top) and Ho o ded Mergansers (bottom) attracted the attention of the observers. The male Hooded Mergan-sers spread their broad white crests (outlined in black), showing their narrow bills, white
breasts and brownish abdomens. The females are brownish with loose-feathered brown crests. The Buffl ehead males showed their white necks and underparts and especially their black heads with spread white crest patch, short blue bills and black backs. The female is a dingy brownish gray color with black head and a small white spot below the eye on each side. These two species of ducks nest in holes in trees and leap directly out of the water without needing to run on the water surface to gain speed for takeoff into fl ight.
Black-colored American Coots were everywhere, showing their white bills and diving for water plants. A few Belted Kingfi shers made their rattling calls and dived for small fi sh.
Three swallows were fl ying low over the water, catching emerging fl ying insects. They will nest in tree holes, snags and even bird houses. Swallows are common around Woods Reservoir, especially when pro-vided with birdhouses. Pied-billed Grebes were mingling with the coots, and pairs of Canada Geese were scattered over the water, honking in displeasure at the people. Finally, a beautiful Eastern Bluebird was seen, making a good ending for the trip.
