Re: [cayugabirds-l] BirdNet App

[Marc Devokaitis]

Thanks Pete -

BirdNET has been successful for me with Eastern Towhee, Yellow Warbler,
Song Sparrow and Scarlet Tanager. It dipped on a still unidentified warbler
from last week--possibly a redstart, but the song seemed too long.

I've also tried to fool it into thinking I'm a White-throated Sparrow - it
has fallen for it once, and a few times it nailed the ID as a "human
whistle". Pretty fun to play around with.

One warning - if you record the song and submit it for analysis and the AI
DOESN'T come up with a confident ID, the recording *does not get saved*.
You can get around this by going into the app setting and turning storage
to "ON" your files will then be saved in a dedicated BirdNET folder.

For the recordings it does ID, it makes a handy list and allows easy access
to the recording snippet. Hope people will check it out. iOS version is in
the works.

[cayugabirds-l] BirdNet App

[Peter Saracino]

Hi fellow birders.
I'm having fun playing around with the Cornell app "BirdNet" (currently for
android only). It allows you to record a song and then tries to identify
the bird making the sound. It then provides a Wikipedia page with info.
about that bird. It's still in the developmental stage but I've been trying
it out and so far it's been correct on a number of species including a
rather distant warbling vireo! The only bird it got wrong so far was a
wormeating warbler. I played its song using my Ibird pro app and BirdNet
said it was a chipping sparrow (the songs are similar).
Anyway, am wondering if anyone else out there has been using it and with
what degree of success. So far it's been spot on for Oriole, cardinal,
house wren, red-bellied woodpecker, indigo bunting, wood thrush, warbling
vireo and robin (those are the only ones I've tried so far in real life).
Thanks.
Pete Sar
