Folks might enjoy reading an article {
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/26/birdwatching-mega-month-september-acadian-flycatcher
] describing the frenzy occasioned by an Acadian flycatcher found in
England recently; the article on twitching available on the foot of the
piece is worth reading as well [
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/dec/31/twitching-british-birdwatching-wild-side
].
        American birders are less likely to relish the pix of the bird than the
bird's-eyes' view of the Brits lining up to photograph it! Among other
things, I was most impressed with the careful distance all the twitchers
maintained, despite their intensity and desperate longing to delight
their eyes with this drab little Empidonax. Would we behave so well?
