Abstract
This chapter recounts the author's experience while twitching a Fork-tailed Flycatcher in the Cove Island Wildlife Sanctuary in Connecticut. Birders use the term “twitching” for birding trips focused on seeing a single bird, a rare bird. The Fork-tailed Flycatcher is a bird that belongs in Central or South America. It is a common bird in its own territory, but in the northern United States it has landed only about one hundred times. The chapter then examines bird photographers. From the start of bird photography, ornithologists were aware that the desire to capture intimate photographs of birds endangered birds. Though photographers do not shoot to kill, the result of being an overeager photographer can be death for a bird.
