       | Nice! I thought about doing this last year - I wanted to be able
       | to identify birds as well - and count totals for each species. I
       | believe it's possible at a DIY level, but would take some effort.

         | with just using object detection. So "if (detectedObject.type
         | == 'bird') ..."

           | It's not handling the traffic too well lol.
           | 
           | Also there's no JS on the site. Just plain old HTML. Written
           | with just notepad.

             | I will try to check it out later as I find birds, and all

               | Sure! Yeah I wish I could do the same with birds as well.
               | Like just go out and hang with them and pet them. They're
               | some birds on my porch right now and a female baby great
               | tailed grackle trying to break into my office window
               | haha!
