I just stood up a BirdNet-Pi[1] instance underneath my deck[2] and it's a super fun project. I designed a 3d printable enclosure[3] to mount an rpi in a bird-hut looking thing to try and keep the water off the device. I'm currently using a 4-mic array on a Seeed Respeaker hat which is notionally designed for far-field 360 pickup to be used on voice response devices (alexa et al). It works but it's not great, so next stunt is to try and build some more suitable microphone solutions[4]. It really is an interesting use of TensorFlow at the edge and the somewhat accidental side effect is that I'm learning the birdsongs of all the neighborhood birds which is an extra delight when I'm out and hearing their calls in the broader world.
