At the age of 50, Phoebe knew that she had cancer, with less than a year to live. Hearing the news, she decided to spend the rest of her life doing what she loved most—watching birds.
She went off to some of the world's most amazing natural places at once. Her trips were really hard. But Phoebe surprised her doctors and her family as she carried on travelling. Years came and went, she was still alive.
Ten years later, the cancer came back. But as she continued with her trips, the cancer went away again. At the age of 61, she had seen 7,530 kinds of birds and was named "the world's leading bird watcher".
Four years later, during a trip to Mexico, she set a new record when she found species number 8,000. In fact, at that time only 12 people around the world had seen more than 7,000 kinds of birds!
When she moved to Missouri, she joined a group of people who were interested in birds, insects and plants. She became very worried about pollution and its influence on the environment. "We have to protect nature, or in the future people won't be able to watch these beautiful birds," she said.
Sadly, when she was 68, she died in a car accident on the island where she had stayed for two weeks and added another five species to her list. Four years later, the National Birding Association made her memories(回忆录) available. Many people have enjoyed reading this moving book. It isn't just a story about a bird watcher's travels, but a touching one of how her hobby helped her to live much longer than expected.
