It's pretty fascinating to watch the chimney swifts hang around the chimney before entering it. I made this simple script to estimate number of swifts flying within an mp4 video. It tries to exclude any buildings and large objects before computing the number of swifts.
Note: this could be optimized as the function
threashold_otsutakes a long time to compute optimal forward vs background threshold for a 1080p image.
