Birdnet-go is a real-time sound analyzer that detects bird species. It can take in audio from microphones. I set mine up to stream audio from my security cameras that I already had installed. There's even a Home Assistant App, if you're using it.

I live in a more suburban/semi-urban environment, but was really surprised to so many different bird species.

OMG, birdnet-go is amazing. I had setup birdnet-pi, till an update to either docker or birdnet-pi broke it.

Now using birdnet-go and the stats are insane, this is just the last week

Nice. What kind of microphone setup do you have? I'm just starting with security cameras because I have those, but the audio quality is ehh.

Like you, using my security cameras. Riolink seems to have the loudest audio of the 2 I use. The other is a Unifi UVC G3 I had from work

My mom loves this so I build some additional microphones using https://github.com/Sukecz/ESP32-birdnet-mic and by 3d printing some casing for it to keep bugs out.
