Summary

Adds docs/blog_post_birdvision_development.md — a first-person, origin-story
blog post draft fleshed out from the notes I had been writing.

It extends the narrative through the full arc:

  • Origin + desktop proof-of-concept — the "smart scope" idea, the old
    gaming PC wiped to Ubuntu, YOLOv8 + BioCLIP, eBird priors, OAuth, the
    ensemble/eval/Gemma side-quests.
  • Pi backyard mode — the Hailo-8 kit, the camcorder → HDMI → Cam Link 4K
    capture path, compiling YOLOv8n and a fine-tuned EfficientNet-V2-S to HEF
    (the Blue Jay training-data bug, the dynamo=False / NHWC calibration
    gotchas), the real-time pipeline, and the Touch Display framebuffer overlay.
  • Phone sidecar mode — phone-as-camera over WebSocket/HTTPS, the Caddy
    reverse proxy, file uploads, single-client guard, and zoom controls.

Notes

  • Kept in the author's casual first-person voice.
  • Intentionally separate from the existing, more technical
    blog_post_birdvision_pi.md draft — that one is left untouched.
  • Docs-only change; no code, tests, or config touched.

Origin-story narrative draft covering the project from the desktop
proof-of-concept through Pi backyard mode (HDMI capture card) and the
phone sidecar streaming mode. Kept separate from the existing technical
Pi-focused draft (blog_post_birdvision_pi.md).
