Judith/Reid/Maine Birders
Great article.
There is an exceptional documentary about British Twitchers, including Gary Bagnell and Lee Evans who are mentioned in the article you posted, that is available on YouTube in seven segments. I was tipped off to it by Doug Hitchcox a few years ago.
The link below will take you to the first of seven segments of an approximately one hour program. The other six segments are listed on the right. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it!

Nancy, Ed, LaBird, According to the book "A Bird in the Bush, A Social
History of Birdwatching," one individual mentioned in Washington Post
article in his rush to see some feathered U.K. rarity has been involved in
at least one car wreck in which people died. And from the article, it
appears his behavior has not changed. Not the best side of birding and not
an environmentally friendly behavior. Jim Bishop, Kuwait
