Amazing bird is the Pelican

It's beak can hold more than it's belly can

My Eyes Adored You Lyrics
Frankie Valli

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn’t see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far away

Carried your books from school,
Playing make-believe you’re married to me:
You were fifth grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,
Till we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate ways

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn’t see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far

Headed for city lights,
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame,
I worked my fingers to the bone,
Made myself a name.
Funny, I seem to find that, no matter how the years unwind,
Still I reminisce about the girI miss
And the love I left behind...

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn’t see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far

All my life I will remember how warm and tender
We were way back then
Though I’m feeling sad regrets I know I won’t ever forget
You, my childhood friend

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn’t see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far

"It's ironic that big birds are making a comeback at a time when the bay is edging toward disaster,"

Yeah. Incredibly ironic that life is renewed and teeming at a time when the ecosystem is collapsing. Weird.

Oh, and by the way, Ms lead scientist, the whole DDT thing is a myth.

Excellent article. Thanks for posting.

Another newcomer to the bay is the Sea Nettle Jellyfish. Soon the Barnegat will be like the Chesapeake where it’s virtually impossible to swim without getting stung.

I was amazed earlier this year to see pelicans on the Snake River in Idaho in fairly large numbers. My first glimpse actually occurred in Wyoming but I didn’t believe my eyes.

Apparently, White Pelicans have learned to thrive on the inland western rivers hundreds of miles from the coast.
