I wanted to do something similar to this, then I started doing some research on birds in general, and those in my locality, then I started learning about Audio and spectograms and Nyquist Theorem and many other interesting audio stuff.
Then I started going through the Intro to Conservation Bioacoustics by Cornell course, and started watching Bioacoustic Talks by the K. Lisa Yang Center cornell center.
And now I am almost at the point where I cant start manually tagging audio sets, for target species so that I can train custom classifiers to identify birds in Rwanda which are poorly detected by birdnet.
TLDR: Being jobless can lead you into interesting ventures.
Excellent kachō-e prompt - working on something similar and found it hard to get the right balance between sharp outlines and watercolors, and especially plant morphology is dicey (eg plants like Cacao that fruit from the trunk instead of branch tips).
Did anyone come across projects that also nail that aspect well?

I'm enjoying tracking the local wildlife with my bird listening station.
There's also an excellent alternative to BirdNet-Pi that runs well on non-Raspberry-Pi machines: https://github.com/tphakala/birdnet-go
