It is definitely exciting to open the browser to my BirdNET-Pi as I rise to see what the past dawn has brought. The problem is, I’m not sure I can trust it absolutely. There’s the mystery of the Spotted Crake, which might just be migrating overhead to breed elsewhere. I’m doubtful. And then there are some that could just possibly be true.
We live near a large park with lots of old trees and open expanses of grass where I suppose a Tawny Owl might make a living, so it might not be unreasonable that one was detected. But listening to the recording, through headphones, I couldn’t hear a darned thing above the low hum of noise. Still, I wasn’t there at 03:39 this morning, so it might be correct and I’m going to let it stand, along with everything else.
