Didnt know previously what kind of bird was singing this! So beautiful in full circle of life. And yes we where searching for sounds make by cardinals & this is 2nd link we watched. Song here sounds like "birdie, birdie, birdie" so this is close enough for now to real sounds heard of "See A Bird!" events.

    🍏 Early in the morning, before the alarm clock wakes me up, it's the melodious sounds of the beautiful birds that wakes me up with a pleasurable feeling. It's the birds melodious sounds that makes my mood feel better and cool. They fly from tree to tree making different types of sounds and getting themselves happy. They also makes my mood feel better and cool. 🍎 I opened the windows and peeped through the trees and the flower plants. There, I saw several types of lovely birds and their sweet sounds that gave me a cool relaxation. Birds welcomes the morning and waiting patiently for the sun to rise. They welcome the sun rise by their melodious sounds that is hardly difficult to highlight its natural performance. 🍏 While I was watching the movements of the beautiful birds through the window, suddenly I felt someone touching my shoulder very slowly and softly. In no time I turned back to see who was that. To my surprise I saw my younger sister Sara watching along with me the bird's free movements and then their pleasurable sounds that attracts our attention and relaxations. 🍎 If I was a bird, if I had lovely voices, if I had melodious sounds, if I would be able to fly up in the sky, if I can fly from tree to tree, if I can enjoy the tasty fruits as my favourite, if I could soak my body with the rain shower, if I could allow the sun light to make my tiny body feel better, then how happy I would be to live in this world with full of happiness. But I am unlucky to be a human being where there is no freedom like a bird has. 🍎🍏 By: Dawood Written on: 9th March 2022 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

On my way back home several families lost lots like in the towns of Garfield, East Rutherford, Lyndhurst all within a few blocks of the river. I have photos of some damage here, now I didn't want to focus on people's driveways too much as it is heartbreaking.. photos.app.goo.gl/SssKVfJmeXNWNMDX6

      @AdamElmquist 3 роки тому

      Thank you for watching Mark, yes you are right the bridge is decently maintained. I know only a handful of these bridges exist that are actually on/apart of the interstate highway system. The traffic this causes when they open the bridge, it's a good thing they mostly only test it on random weekends only once or twice a year. If someone could ever give me a heads up when another test happens I would be more than happy to film it again, also the bridge just to the south as well the NJT RR Newark Draw is cool too because the Morristown lines are one of the busiest Transit lines outside of the Northeast Corridor for Transit so both bridges see a lot of traffic.

    Can you imagine the feeling of flying? Imagine the wind, the sun, the freedom; imagine the whole world below you. As a child, I would dream about flying, and I envied the life of a bird soaring high in the sky. But many birds don’t get to live this life and instead lead lives of misery in cages as pets. Caged birds are either captured in the wild or bred in captivity. Both are horrible: One involves knowing what freedom was and the other never knowing a minute of it. Around the world, nearly every species of bird is kept in cages, from pigeons to parrots; people create prisons for every type of these beautiful animals. Many people buy birds not knowing of the cruelty that they will be inflicting on them and often underestimating the care that a bird needs. In the wild, birds would never leave their flock, but pet birds rarely ever have the opportunity even to see another bird for their entire lifetimes. Pet birds are often kept in cramped cages where they are unable even to stretch their wings and never know the joy of flying or the happiness of freedom. Birds in cages crave freedom and companionship and often exhibit aggressive, neurotic, and self-destructive behavior as they languish in cramped cages. Because of their seemingly bad behavior caused by their torturous conditions, people will often condemn them to living in dark corners, in basements, or on balconies, all the while locked inside of cages. Birds are known for their complex communication techniques, their beautiful feathers, and their unique intelligence, but when we cage birds, we take away their lives. Buying birds contributes to this horrible problem. Birds are meant to fly and be with their flock. If you are a bird lover, consider buying binoculars and going on bird-watching hikes or making a backyard oasis for your feathered friends. Never cage birds! January 24, 2018

    Not once have I ever seen that bridge open.

      Thank you for watching Michael I guess it was being in the right place at the right time.. I thinks its about two / three times a year they test the bridge. Next I'd like to see the NJT railroad bridge next to it open up. I have seen videos of it but would like to see it in person.

      I wonder how often, if ever, it opens for marine traffic. Not too many large boats go up the Passaic. I know the bridges on the Hackensack open more often.

      Michael Niemiera yes for now on the Hackensack but soon will also see less PSE&G is converting the power station in JC to natural gas. As for the Passaic seldomely boats to go up the river anymore outside of any clean up effort for Diamond Shamrock or the river keeper..

      Are they converting Hudson Generating Station to natural gas? I heard they are closing it next year. Unit 2 (The only remaining unit in operation) already can run on natural gas as well as coal. I hope they don't close it, that plant has always been special to me. My dad used to work there and years ago they would have events there for the employees and their families. My favorite thing as a little kid was my dad bringing me into the control room and telling me which buttons to push to test the alarms. This was way before 9/11 so I'm sure they don't do that anymore.

      Michael Niemiera yes from my understanding the facility will be converted fully to natural gas.
