Hi James and All=2C
Actually I think the technology to do what you describe is probably =
pretty close if not fully here yet. ID'ing someone by using facial recognit=
ion is already used by the police and even my 5 year old video camera has t=
he supposed ability to remember faces and focus on them when it sees them a=
gain - although I've never tested it out personally.=20
=20
I don't see this technology being a big help with bird identificatio=
n because there are so many variables=3B but for ID'ing butterflies and eve=
n some moths it could be a big help as they tend to pose and wing colors an=
d patterns are usually pretty clear. The big problem might be how to determ=
ine size. All the best.

I had an odd dream last night where I was out birding and of all things saw=
some butterflies. Supposedly the first for the season. I was taking a ph=
otograph of two species and in the dream downloaded the pictures to an app=
=2C which scanned the pictures and automatically gave the ID. This app wou=
ld give the ID for both butterflies and moths on the basis of the pictures =
entered in. A great concept=2C but technogically I don't know if this is e=
ven possible. I have no explanation as to where this dream even came from.
