Abstract:

A birdwatching system for identifying, locating, and tracking birds of interest while birdwatching. The birdwatching system may comprise an apparatus, such as shaft, which includes a plurality of microphones located on a distal end of the shaft for capturing audio signals of a bird, and possibly video cameras for producing video of the birds. The birdwatching system may further comprise a device, such as the user's tablet device, which receives audio data from the plurality of microphones and processes the audio data (locally of via a remote server) to determine a bird species and location of the bird. The device may then display an icon in a map of the surrounding area representing the location of the bird. The display may further selectively display information regarding the identified bird species. The birdwatching system may detect, locate, display and track information on a plurality of birds simultaneously.
