Here’s a small trivia. What is the most number of bird species that a person has ever seen? Answer: More than 8,500! But that’s not the real mind-boggler though. That person — the world’s biggest bird-watching buff — is Phoebe Snetsinger, who has a remarkable obsession which led her to “spend her family inheritance travelling to various parts of the world while suffering from a malignant melanoma, surviving an attack and rape in New Guinea before dying in a road accident in Madagascar.”
That is not to say birdwatching is a horrible and extremely dangerous hobby. On the Texas map, there is a special spot for veteran birdwatchers (or first-timers) to espy eagles and birds of various kinds. It’s in Lake Texoma, where Eagle Quest 2009 will be held on January 24-25 2009.
I remember Lake Texoma as our last year’s pick for our Fourth of July celebration venue. I did my tubing and spent hours under the sun riding the scarab with my family. Lake Texoma is in the heart of Gordonville where famous marinas such as the Cedar Mills can be found. It’s very easy to find in the Texas map.
Eagle Quest 2009 involves activities such as workshops and seminars, hot air ballooning, flea market events, stargazing, and birdwatching of course! If you need more information on how to get there, here’s a Texas map I’ve provided for you:
