Sorry everyone for the terrible service. :( Just discovered that my page kite instance only handles up to 5 requests! So here's a PDF to the page hosted on skynet. https://siasky.net/_Ajdq1vNw7AsSfY4cIgkAPyKg9quUabhtuTdwSWiz...

1:0 for the 'Deurbanize the web with PDF' guy!

And, thanks for fixing!

Nice! I thought about doing this last year - I wanted to be able to identify birds as well - and count totals for each species. I believe it's possible at a DIY level, but would take some effort.

That would take a bit more effort to do species identification but it would be very cool! I kept this project pretty simple with just using object detection. So "if (detectedObject.type == 'bird') ..."
