Oh interesting! I had never heard of BirdNet or Bird Pi. It looks like Cornell Lab integrated that machine learning project into the Merlin app:
https://pg.allaboutbirds.org/
Merlin also sound identifies a Northern Flicker in the woods behind my house that I've yet to see.
And yes educational! It was your long form posts from a couple months ago that really drew me into the community. I was just really impressed with the level of detail and really appreciated it. I like learning new things that I wouldn't necessarily take the time to seek out myself. I was reading those even though I didn't comment much at the time.
Found the post. It looks like it's onigiri@lemm.ee that has it. Here's one of the regular commenters, and he gives a link in his comment here:

I've only seen the Flicker twice in about 15 years of living here so I get very excited when I catch him.
That's why I tell people to comment even if it's just like "oh that's really cool. I learned something." The talon post was huge and took a week to write and was huge, so I wrote one or 2 more and people were all quiet, so all I'm left with to think is I guess nobody was interested or it was too long, etc. If I can do a funny pic with a 2 sentence caption that gets the same or better reaction than me writing a paper after spending a day reading a research paper and collecting citations, guess which posts you're gonna get! ๐
I'm reading the stuff regardless, but I don't wanna be the person all day talking to themselves! I want to interact with the people of the group. We got almost 3k subs now, but there's maybe a dozen of you that talk to me, which I appreciate! But I wish it was a bigger chunk of the people.
Like I said in my SuperbOwl wrap up, I may be the one posting every day, but you guys are equally important to the community because you guys interacting is what keeps me motivated to make the posts. Even my quickest posts probably take 15-30 minutes of scrolling to find a story, writing a summary, and uploading pics. The benefit to me is zero, cuz I've already seen it. I do it to get you guys excited, and I want to see that excitement or I don't know it's there.
Ok, rambling on now so I'm donnnnnne.
I got a fun Barred Owl pic, a fun Hawk Owl pic, and some new quick owl research in my drafts folder. Which one do you want to see tomorrow?
Yeah my life doesn't leave me a lot of room for creating posts. I know how much work that takes.
But I'm good at running my mouth, so I try to comment these days because I know that engagement drives engagement. (I have no idea what drives post visibility on Lemmy though. Is there an algorithm here?)
I'm not working tomorrow, so I'll have time to read some research! But I'll never argue with funny adorable owl pics of any sort either haha
For real, I never gave much thought to the time content creation takes before I feel into this. My work has good chunks of downtime while I'm waiting for equipment to be ready or me being on standby so it works out. I probably spend as much time on this as actual work most days.
Lemmy 0.19 or whatever it is sorta does an algorithm where there is a weighted active sort or something along those lines. I'm guessing like a post on a comm with 5000 subs with 50 comments is ranked about the same as a post in a comm with 50 subs and 5 comments. So I hear anyway, World hasn't rolled it out yet due to smaller instances having issues when it first came out and they didn't wanna trash the biggest instance for not super significant upgrades until more bugs were worked out.
I couldn't tell you exactly how the regular active sort works, I just default to New on all comms and occasionally glance at Top 6 Hours on All.
This research is more just an observation, it's like 3 paragraphs. I'll post the one pic in the morning and the research one at lunch. The other pic I think is a little better so I'll hold onto that a bit. I got a quick Owl-natomy in reserve too for a day where I can't find anything to post. Switching to an app with drafts has been such a huge help so I can prepare things in advance.
