https://birdnetpi.com — Bird call logging

I love this idea. I've just started getting into birds, and I wish I had steady enough hands to build a solar+battery version of this I could stash in the woods for a week.

I've set this up recently with a cheap(~$20) USB microphone and just have it running on the back porch and it's been such a delight. Loving it!

You might be interested in picking up an AudioMoth [0]. A bit more work as you’d have to manually push through BirdNET, but easier to deploy.

Is there anything like birdnetpi, but with an ultrasound transducer for bats? I know I have them zooming around, but rarely see them, and would love to know more what their activity is like here.

Oh, checking out the AudioMoth linked elsewhere, looks like that works for recording birds and bats. Down the rabbit hole I go.

Oh this sounds fun!

Along the lines of piaware, also checkout https://liveatc.net. If you live near an airport that's not currently served by the site you can set one up moderately easy.
