Features to add from bird weather

[matthew73210]

Hey,

Just some ideas, they might have already been added or put in the sin bin. Having a quick look at Birdweather API, there's some pretty nifty stuff.

As your stated, you mainly want this app to be local. Maybe a toggle could be added to grab stuff from external sources?

Going back to the API, a nifty thing would be to add the probabilty of said bird to the detections. i.e I sometimes get a false positive of the green sandpiper, I don't think at 1250m in the snow this is all too probable. But there is a 5 percent chance that at my location, one could be seen etc... One could add weather, or even other sightings.

If it's a nay, pin this so others don't ask.

Cheers,

I have been thinking of adding weather data, but I would fetch it from Openweather instead of BirdWeather. Using BirdWeather for species probabilities is too unreliable I think, there is just far too many false detections with high probability scores.

Had a look and I think they just grab the weather stuff from open weather, and predictions from ebird

Been discussing birdweather. But what about ebird? You'll need an API key, but the information from that site is pretty kosher?

I have been thinking of adding support for generating eBird spreadsheet files for reporting bird sighting. This is however pending on UI components for verifying and tagging detections as 100% correct.

This was a discussion from the birdnet-pi erea, of course what you upload has to be validated by oneself. Good idea though
