I like "A Traffic of Twitchers". As in, a non-birders response to seeing a 
twitch in action: 

"What the hell is so much traffic doing out here on this tiny dirt road"

Or the birds response when a hundred cars start pulling up in its 
territory:

"What the hell is so much traffic doing on the edge of my pond!" 

It would put a different slant on wildlife trafficing though.

What about a trial of twitchers?

Referring to the trialling conditions that twitchers often have to endure 
to
observe a rarity, as well as the trial (debate) that may take place among
twitchers to reach a verdict on the true identity of the species.
