FIELD STATION ALPHA · BAINBRIDGE ISLAND

BIRDWATCH_

An avian intelligence platform for the suspicious naturalist. Identify, catalog, and dossier every bird that crosses your surveillance zone.

Statement of Intent

Because the birds aren't going to watch themselves.

BirdWatch is a one-developer field operation built for backyard birders who treat their feeder like a stakeout.

Snap a photo, upload from your library, or activate live surveillance. Within seconds an AI classifier returns a species ID, a dramatic fighting-game title, and a paragraph of cryptic metaphysical prose. Each capture is filed under a permanent specimen designation that grows your dossier.

No ads. No tracking. No location capture. Just intel — yours alone.
