Method before spectacle
How the record stays trustworthy
Privacy first
Public images should have EXIF metadata stripped. Exact coordinates should normally be generalized to a county, municipality, or similarly coarse region.
Wildlife first
Nesting, roosting, or otherwise sensitive wildlife locations should be withheld or generalized further.
Verification
Records distinguish submitted, reviewed, and verified rather than silently presenting everything as fact.
Portable record
Human-readable sightings.json, a machine-readable images.json, image sitemap metadata, and the public SHA-384 / SHA3-512 manifest let people, mirrors, and indexers discover, preserve, and verify the archive without weakening hash-addressed media identity.
The project records what birds do. It does not instruct participants to touch, alter, obstruct, damage, climb, or trespass on equipment or property.
Submission architecture
No account required.
This static build does not pretend to have a working upload backend. The production submission endpoint can be added later with first-party processing, immediate metadata stripping, coarse-location publication, rate limiting, and minimal short-lived security logging.
Design target: no ad IDs, no behavioral analytics, no third-party trackers, no session replay, and no wallet requirement.
Independence
