Do birdwatchers communicate with each other to track flocks? Like if they were observing the movement of an army?
"They've moving south with a speed of about 12 clicks. report when they reach your post. over."
Yes, at ebird.org. More often they are tracking rare or unusual bird sightings. Some people check obsessively and will jump in their car and drive 2 hours at the drop of a hat, to try and see a bird. They are called "twitchers". Some birders are nice but a surprising number are angry middle aged men who channel their aggressiveness into watching birds.
