BirdWeather Posting Some but Not All Birds Reported

[dalogue1]

When my station detected a "Scaly-breasted Munia" and reported it to BirdWeather, I got the following response in my BirdNET-Pi log and the Munia was not in my species detected on BirdWeather. So I do not know if BirdWeather is blocking "highly unlikely" birds or why it is not shown.

The following is where the message from [utils.reporting] originates so no exception was thrown. Just a 201 response_status_code which I think means success.

Here is another instance of it posting but not appearing on BirdWeather:

This is what it does with a Blue Jay that just happened. The Blue Jay appeared just fine on BirdWeather.

I verified that the bird is on the BirdWeather species list.

Anyone have any ideas?

For a remote mic, I'm using a system described to me by @lloydbayley : you can use a couple of "USB to ethernet" adapters to use an ethernet cable as USB extension cord then connect the USB mic on the other end! It's great to push a USB mic further than the rpi itself (to better position it, and avoid interferences). It works great

[dalogue1]

How does a couple of "USB to Ethernet" adapters work. I understand USB converts to ethernet but on the other end of the ethernet cable the adapter has a male USB connector. How would you connect the USB microphone to that?

Do you mean one of these?

It is funny that one set of these is $9 and two sets is $10.

I was considering a microphone extension cable made from a coaxial cable.

[lloydbayley]

One has a female USB :)

[dalogue1]

But "normal" USB to Ethernet adapters are generally male USB. This is a special set of adapters made for this purpose.

Very nice! I never knew these existed.

[lloydbayley]

I suppose a better description is USB Extenders via UTP.

"Detection POST Response Status - 201" means that it was posted successfully to birdweather so from an app side it should work... I know the owner of birdweather goes sometimes on the repo so hopefully he can help you

[dalogue1]

The Scaly-breasted Munia is not present in the Species Probability dialog for my location on their website.

[dalogue1]

I sent an email to Tim the Founder of BirdWeather and he adjusted the Species Probability for that specific bird on my station #5355 and now the Scaly-breasted Munias are being logged.

Very exciting!

Thanks again, Tim.
