Uses public domain art and credits sources
From 1 comment
Awesome! It's really cool that it uses public domain images as the inspiration, too. And even cooler that you link to the places where you got those public domain images.

Objections
Did not credit the earlier AvianVisitors project
From 3 comments
Its awful close with no attribution or mention of the original project, which should be the minimum i feel like.
jiwidi on HNVery cool, but IMO not mentioning https://theodore.net/projects/AvianVisitors/ as an inspiration is a very ugly move from the author
nsbk on HNThat's a blatant copy of https://theodore.net/projects/AvianVisitors/, please.

E-ink hardware is expensive
From 2 comments
This project is super cool! But the price of the e-ink board is quite steep
TomJansen on HNVery cool! I wish E-ink displays were a bit more affordable. The 13 inch one is £229.50. Does anyone know why they are still so expensive, at least at large sizes?

Add audio playback of bird calls on tap
From 1 comment
Would it be possible to tap the bird images and play audio? Their call, that is. It would be a great way to reinforce sight and sound.

Why BirdNET rather than Cornell Merlin?
From 1 comment
a bit of a noob in these field, so apologies for the question, but why bird.net and not the more comprehensive cornell merlin dataset?
