An endemic twitcher is one who only chases vagrants within a geographically defined range. For example, two hours bike ride from home.

That raises an interesting question: are there more bird species or Twitchers in Australia? Also, how would you define an endemic Twitcher? Would it be one who has never travelled out of their own State?

Someone mentioned a field guide earlier. The problem with all this is not only that there is no field guide, there isn't even a checklist. Going on the discussions we've had here over the last year about numbers of birders, we don't even have a good estimate of how many there are.

It's easy to locate twitchers. Just use a good phone (MP3 Player if
you
are desperate) at max volume with this voicemail message:
