Dear all,
this discussion has been interesting. I felt my hackles rising earlier when
someone said "twitchers" have taken listing to a rediculous (sic) level.
Twitching is a British term. My spouse is British. We both have no problems
with the term or the activity. I actually blogged about this recently. I invite
anyone who is interested to read my take on "chasing".

That being said, there is no right way or wrong way to enjoy birds. Acting in a
superior manner is what is ridiculous. We all need to work together to protect
birds. We all need to respect each other's enjoyment and passion.
