For owls that are superb.

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...

I used to have Great Horned Owls by me (in the suburbs!). I would hear them in the evening and early morning, but I haven’t for the past couple years. Apparently, they nest early, like February? Maybe I’ll hear some this year or the raspberry pi will pick them up.

Seriously??? How does this work?

I dont know if this is what they have, but BirdNET-Pi is the first thing that comes to mind.

Classify birds acoustically with BirdNET-Pi

Cornell also has it in app form if you want to play with it on a phone/tablet.

I haven't tried it at all, so I'm curious how well it works as well!

WOW!! I had no idea this existed, I'm seriously impressed!

I have been looking At Raspberry Pi for a while, but it would be a bit of a slog for me to get my head round it all....BUT, one day I'm going to find an idiots guide and dip my toe in the water
