Raspberry Pi is the" erector-set" of today... the tiny circuit board is a powerful computer for 1000 projects. It is a wonderful project based learning with a million applications. A hobbyist's dream. Wicked powerful it can be programed ( with free downloadable software) to do a lot of stuff.
With a tiny cheap 'computer' ...a Raspberry pi with a quality sound card and microphone ($20) and some downloadable free software, putting the microphone through to outside, it will take 30 second recordings all day and ID’s the birds it hears then sends you an email once a day with the time, species and number. It also sends the info to the Cornell University bird info dept. (they run the Merlin App I use to ID with iPhone mic). I have a raspberry Pi and this will be a fun project. The Raspberry pi can be used on 110 volt or with a $10 plug on 12 V. So good for home or on the road in the camper.

This would be a wonderful tool to ID when to set up a chair and camera.
