These numbers come from a Raspberry Pi camera pointed at a bird feeder in a home garden in Salt Lake City, Utah. An image classifier names the species at each visit, and a small sensor beside the bird feeder records temperature, humidity and air pressure. How the bird feeder dashboard works.
Visits today
snapshotDistinct bird feeder visits since midnight, Mountain Time. A visit groups detections that each start at most 15 seconds after the previous one started.
57
198 detections today
Detections today
snapshotTracker detections since midnight, Mountain Time: one per object the camera followed.

57 visits today
Species today
snapshotDistinct species identified since midnight. Detections the classifier could not name are not counted.

Most visits: House Sparrow (43)
Last seen
snapshotTime since the newest event. Active within 15 minutes, slow within 2 hours, otherwise flagged; quiet between 20:00 and 06:00 when the bird feeder is dark.

Activity, last 24 h
snapshotDetections by species from the last 24 hours of events, in 15-, 30- or 60-minute bins depending on the width available. Rare species fold into Other; the hatched bucket is detections the classifier could not name.
This copy of the page keeps no detection times; they show with live metrics.

Visits by hour of day, 30 d
snapshotVisits summed by local hour of day over the selected range, from hourly counts the API keeps for 30 days.
2,394 visits over the last 30 d by local hour of day; busiest hour 17:00 MT with 321.

Species share, 30 d
snapshotShare of identified visits per species over the selected range. Rare species fold into Other; detections the classifier could not name are left out.
Daily visits, 30 d
snapshotVisits per local day. Hatched bands mark windows in which the camera link or power was unreliable, so counts there are low.
2,385 visits over the last 30 d, 80 per day on average. 1 degraded-capture window shaded.

Temperature, 7 d
snapshotHourly mean air temperature at the bird feeder over the last 7 days.
Temperature over the last 7 days: now 28.5 °C, between 21.5 and 38.5 °C.

Humidity, 7 d
snapshotHourly mean relative humidity at the bird feeder over the last 7 days.
Humidity over the last 7 days: now 33 %, between 20 and 86 %.

Pressure, 7 d
snapshotHourly mean sea-level-adjusted air pressure at the bird feeder over the last 7 days.
Pressure over the last 7 days: now 1,004 hPa, between 997 and 1,006 hPa.

Model quality
snapshotMacro F1 of each classifier training run on its validation set, and the latest run's F1 per class: below 0.8 is serious, below 0.9 a warning.
Macro F1 across 18 training runs, from 0.711 to 0.958 in run-18; weakest class House Finch at 0.852.
