#33Hell yeah a birdie over thirty, with a splash of tech!
(you either go the path of a burner or a birdie, I don't make the rules)

#34110 detections over 7 days? Here in Sydney I would expect >110 detections per day!
You can adjust which detections are accepted based on confidence level, so it might be that the settings are very strict.

#35What an interesting and fun project. Now I want something similar too.

I don't love it either, but it's better than the alternative of Peace President(tm) -- famous for strokes of genius such as "can't we just shoot [the protestors] in the legs"; asking the military to "shoot missiles into Mexico to destroy the drug labs; and the masterful decision to deny Iran nuclear weapons by withdrawing from the JCPOA and joining Israel in waging an illegitimate war.
Edit: Wow that's insane that your comment was flagged.

I've done essentially the same thing before (using my existing Go2RTC and Frigate setup) but the challenge I ran into is that the microphones on my cameras just aren't very good.

#38how confident is it in the identification? i imagine sometimes the angle is or resolution is bad and it may detect a bird but not have a lot to go off of to say what kind. does it narrow the list down or just make a guess?

#39Btw, Merlin Bird ID app by Cornell University is so good that I got some people interested that weren't into that topic at all.
I call it Pokemon Go for grown ups. How many do you have in your life list? I finally managed to snag a Tawny Owl last week.

But a warning for novice birders: Merlin's sound ID feature produces a lot of false positives.
