Birdfy and AI [View all]

I got one of those Birdfy bird feeders with a camera for Christmas. I am really enjoying it. I've had 60 birds just this morning! My son also bought the AI add-on, which identifies the birds. Part of the fun is finally learning which sparrow is which. And, perversely, part of the fun is being smarter than AI. For example, I am in Cincinnati and AI identified sevrral birds as Anna's hummingbirds. The pictures show the infamous Blurry Birds or LBJ (Little Brown Jobs). As you know, Anna's humming bird lives on the North American West Coast. Yes, it could happen, birds get blown away or transported, but you need more than a blurry picture of a part of a brown bird to document that. As Sagan said, "Extraordinary claims reqire extraordinary evidence." I promise that if I do get a clear photo of that hummingbird (or a UFO), I will post it to DU. 🐦🐦‍⬛🛸👽
