I recently heard of BirdNet Pi, which lets you record and track what birds are in your local area by the chirps they make ( which are recorded by the RPi): https://birdnetpi.com/
BirdNET Pi is a pretty fun project. I have one set up. Someone has also set up a map of various listening stations here: https://app.birdweather.com/
I was about to set one of these up until the mocking birds showed up. Does it compensate for the rotation of those sounds? I know seagulls arent hanging around my yard
