Smart Birds

Posted on June 30, 2025June 30, 2025 by brucewinter

Zach and Liz made it official!

In less romantic news, I used AI to turn my smart house into a birder. It snaps then classifies birds using my deck webcam:

Another smarthouse upgrade, a fan in the gazebo that turns on when a sweaty Bruce wonders in:

And another sweat upgrade: after my morning workouts, I un-bask (couldn’t think of a cold equivalent word) with a neck AC gadget:

Zach taught me the joys of reverse garage parking, great for quick get aways after robbing your own house:

In forest news, trees fell, vines grew:

Shrooms shroomed:

Ferns ferned:

A few other biologics did their thing:

And this guy found a hiding spot under my deck:

      The spikey thing is a seed from a sweetgum tree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidambar_styraciflua ). The seeds are often called burr balls, gum balls, spike balls, or monkey balls. Kind of a nuance, especially if walk around barefoot πŸ™‚
