Nature’s Mystery

<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A26410-2004Jul3.html">Where have all the Pelicans gone</a>. This to me is just fascinating. Nature at its finest with a mystery the "experts" can't figure out. This just shows me how little the so called "experts" know and how mush we have yet to learn. <br />n<br />nI do like the statement in the article:<br />n<br />n<i>Only humans, with minimal access to a region that is 10 miles from the nearest paved road, have largely escaped suspicion.</i><br />n<br />nThe whole ranch here is over 10 miles to the nearest pavement and there is plenty of human activity. I am not real sure about the 10 miles being a signifigant buffer in this day and age. It will be real interesting if they ever figure out what caused this mass exodus.<br />n<br />n<b>To the intelligent, nature converts itself into a vast promise, and will not be rashly explained. Her secret is untold. Many and many an Oedipus arrives: he has the whole mystery teeming in his brain. Alas! the same sorcery has spoiled his skill; no syllable can he shape on his lips.
