Before any Goa lover gets their tail feathers ruffled—I really like birds, and besides my relaxing stay at Casa Susegad, with its delicious food and wonderful company, it is what I like best about this area on the west coast of India. I have quite a few friends who are bird watchers and I am sure they would like the variety and quantity of avifauna in the various micro-habitats.
There are lots of things to like besides birds. If you like warm weather in January and February where you can stick your toes in the ocean on a white sandy beach, Goa is for you. If you like history, especially conquest of territory by once powerful seafaring Portugal, Goa is your place. If you like 16th century and later Catholic Churches in a country known more for other religions, Goa will keep you busy. If you like good fresh seafood cooked in a variety of styles, Goa will suit your taste. But I like the birds—and the people I met while trying to see it all—the best.
