Are both "anywhere particular" and "marveled" in the following sentences correct?
------- the following sentences ------------------
Do birds go someplace special to die? Surprisingly, birds don't fly anywhere particular to die. The reason we don't see dead birds is that they are quickly scavenged by other animals. Although this sounds like a cruel fate, a bird expert, Star Saphir, views it differently, marveled at the efficiency of the natural world.

Anywhere particular is OK, but marveled should be marveling, I think.
