Love this project, I did something similar. The next step is building a custom frontend for it that’s exactly how your wife wants!

I'm also working on a little project that is a walnut frame with a waveshare eink display and esp32 that polls for latest detection and display the picture.

Wow kingfisher, lucky!

Has your observation record reached a steady state, or are you regularly seeing unusual species?

I’m at a very steady state now years into running a BirdNET-GO instance. Disclaimer: I’m a contributor to the project.

I’m a pretty unhinged sorta engineer, so I actually recently created a 24/7 weather TV channel that combines real-time bird alerts, weather radar, timelapses and a sky cam feed (just a UniFi camera mounted on my home’s roof PV).

Watchable from every TV in the house and shows the birds photo and name when it hears one. Whole thing is a single cursed FFMPEG command.
