Start a BirdNETPi website for less than $100
BirdNETPi records the bird sounds around you and lets you know what birds are visiting
BirdNetPi is an amazing tool that allows you to classify birds in real-time using your Raspberry Pi. If you’re new to the world of Raspberry Pi and software installations, don’t worry! This guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Raspberry Pi’s have been in short supply and can be very expensive at this time. With that in mind this post will tell you how to use a Libre Le Potato to do the whole thing. This is the way I started and it’s very easy.
To view our BirdNetPi Website click the button below. This site has been running 24/7 since the summer of 2022.

Make sure you have your SD Card in the adapter plugged into your computer. (You may need a USB Card Reader which you can obtain here if your computer doesn’t have one. Press the Choose button under Storage and choose your SD Card. (It is important that you make sure that you have chosen the correct card as what you choose will be completely erased and you will be warned by the Imager of this.

You will need to download Putty You can then look up your IP address in your router (Different routers have different ways to find the IP address for connections..look for Attached Devices or something like that and it should say RaspberryPi or whatever you made your “hostname” to above) Type the IP address into the Hostname or IP Address field in Putty and answer yes to the dialog that comes up after you press open. Login with the username and password you created above when you made the SDCard image.

When the SD card is ready, you’ll be notified that is ok to remove it from your computer
At this point, you will put the SD card into the Raspberry Pi and will allow it a few minutes to
boot up. After a few minutes, you can move on to the next step.
