Dev builds BirdNET-powered app that IDs birds by song and shares friends' sketches

Developer ikeadrift shared a hobby birding tool that uses your location plus Cornell's open-source BirdNET model to identify what birds you're hearing, then lets you log sightings or sketch them.
He describes it as "Merlin or eBird with less scientific rigor and more seeing weird drawings that your friends make" — a playful, social twist on BirdNET, which recognizes over 6,000 species worldwide.
