And some local residents think they have big problems when a bunch of birders show up on their street to view an unusual species and cause traffic problems!

And Mice Everywhere Sang Out With Joy...
LYNDONVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - Bird enthusiasts flocking to catch a glimpse of the rare Northern Hawk Owl are aggravating nearby homeowners.
It seems some of the enthusiastic bird lovers are bringing mice and setting them free in surrounding fields, hoping to see the owl swoop down and hunt.
But while some of the mice have been fortunate enough to escape, homeowners are complaining that some rodents are fleeing right into their houses.
Yates Supervisor Russ Martino is asking bird lovers to stop bringing mice with them on their visits.
The rodent controversy has even reached cyberspace, where bird watchers on the Genesee Birds online message board have been debating the issue. Jim Landau, a birder from the Buffalo-area, said he's "somewhat dismayed."
"It had been there for a month, so obviously there was plenty of prey for the owl," Landau told The Daily News of Batavia.
