Collecting pokemon and stuff is fun but have you tried "collecting" birds?

@bleeptrack Do I spot a "human" at the end of the recording?

@bleeptrack Merlin Bird ID? Works also great under noisy conditions... Looking forward for your 24/7 project 🥹🥰

@bleeptrack amazing. What app is that? If i may ask

[bleeptrack@vis.social]

@txo_elurmaluta Merlin (has the slightly worse classification net but the way nicer UI than birdnet)

[bleeptrack@vis.social]

@blinry likely

[txo_elurmaluta@mastodon.eus]

@bleeptrack thank you!
I’ll check it out

@txo_elurmaluta @bleeptrack On Android you can use whoBIRD from F-Droid instead of BirdNET. Or in addition, both UIs have their advantages

@bleeptrack

BirdnetPi is really fun.
The UI is a bit clumsy but it's still really cool.

There was also another implementation - all these things, including the Merlin app on your celly, depend on the same CNNs developed at Cornell Uni (aaaaand I just read that you already seem to know that) - but I forgot the name.

Bird weather by the way is a citizen science project.
You can automatically fill it with your BirdnetPi installation.
You can also config a treshold so no human sounds get send.

@ThomasV @bleeptrack Thanks!

@bleeptrack @CyReVolt well, the Amsel is called Schwarzdrossel as well, so thats easy...

[datatrash@mastodon.social]

@bleeptrack

That said, BirdnetPi is inherently prone to errors and can't be set up perfectly.

You can evaluate recognitions ex post but still will only get false positives that way. And it's work.

I think Bird Weather takes this into account somehow but I forgot how.
The numbers you see there on a given day when you look up installations in your area should be taken with a grain of salt, I guess.

@nomis @CyReVolt ha! TIL

@bleeptrack I used Acoupi on a pi, it's really good. It can send detections live too, I rigged it up to post detections to a mastodon account

@sarahdal oh cool!

[oseiler@mastodon.nz]

@bleeptrack can highly recommend Birdnet-go (it can feed into birdweather). Great way to narrow down the time when scanning video recordings for certainty species too.
