Four of us were lucky to spend 45 minutes on an October morning with a Northern saw-whet owl along the high Cascade crest. Conifer trees behind it made a muted blue background. Soon after its photo was taken, the owl swooped down with frost flying off its head - like it was flying in stars…

This is amazing, I’m bookmarking it for future reference, now I just need an idiots guide to Pi
What birds have you picked up on it?
Mostly the usual backyard songbirds: cardinals, blue jays, robins, chickadees, etc. (White-breasted nuthatches are very chatty!) but also Pileated Woodpeckers, which I haven’t seen yet, Cooper’s Hawks, a ton on warblers in the spring, and a Snow Goose, flying overhead I would guess. It’s fun to see what’s in or near your yard, but frustrating to never see them.
Lol I feel this one! I was so glad I finally had 2 Flicker sightings over the last year after so many years of seeing them marked on the birdwatching map all around me, but never getting to see one myself.
Flickers are really cool! I see them fairly regularly. In the summer they eat ants off the sidewalk!
I hope mine becomes a more regular guest!
Same, this looks like a fun project. The pictograms at the link of the data look very nice as well!
Good job on their logo too. Like the Firefox logo a bit, but a cardinal.
Would be fun to put a little radiation symbol or something on the outside of the box instead of the bird label! 😆
Well, I just hopped on over to zlibrary and downloaded the idiots guide to Pi, it may take some time for me to get my head round it all though, but I’m going to give it a go
Awesome! Keep us posted if you build it. It’d be nice to see how to process building it and getting it working is for someone without prior experience, which is probably a lot of us. (me included!)
Good luck!
