FrigateBird

The eventual home of a bunch of stuff for interacting with eBird and ML. Code considered to be alpha quality.

Currently, there's the beginnings of an API for the Macaulay Library (ML) in ml/api.py and ml/session.py and pytest tests at tests/test_ml_media.py. Docs on the ML API forthcoming in ml/docs/.

By default requests-cache is set up for caching to api_cache/ directory using the filesystem backend, because this was the easiest, and SQLite is slow at storing files.

Logs go to the logs/ directory.

Temporary name, maybe?
