Yep, that's what inspired my project! My wife is a wildlife photographer, and taking pictures of the squirrels and birds at our feeders is what started her down that path. I had wanted to get her one of those feeders, but they're all subscription based and send the photos to their cloud/AI services. Like you said, I understand it. It's a really neat product for people who enjoy birding, but I want to try my hand at building something that can run off a Raspberry Pi and sync to my local NAS instead of a third-party cloud service.
