If you have ever tried to watch a live nest camera hoping to observe a falcon or other interesting bird, you may have had the experience of opening the live stream and seeing an empty nest. Not sure how long you should wait for the bird to return? In this article, I will describe my final project for the 12-week Metis Data Science Bootcamp that I attended January–March 2021. My project was aimed at automating nest monitoring for the Nottingham Trent University Falcon Cam. Using deep learning and automation tools, I designed a method for 24-hour bird detection that serves as an infrastructure upon which a Twitter bot or other notification system can be built to notify users when the bird enters or leaves the nest.
