Citizen cience with BirdWeather

If you would like to contribute your detections to a citizen science project, you can submit your data to BirdWeather. You can follow the BirdWeather setup instructions directly in the BirdNET-Pi settings.

BirdWeather.com is a global platform for bird sound monitoring. Stations around the world upload audio (and sometimes video) data, which is then analyzed using BirdNET and compared with eBird grid data.

BirdWeather catalogues the bird audio and spectrogram visualizations so that you can listen to, view, and read about birds throughout the world.

This makes it a powerful tool for research, education, and global biodiversity monitoring.
