BirdQuote: The Mystery of Bird Flight

Clarence D. Cone, Jr (quoted on a signboard at the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserves)

“It is ironic… that despite his intense study of birds,
man did not really learn the basic secret of their flight,
for the bases of bird-flight remained mysterious
long after man had mastered the air.”



Isaiah 40:31 (New International Version)

"...those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles..."
