AI prompt: You are a bird identification expert. Identify the bird or birds in the attached screenshot. Return a JSON array of objects with the following format: { "is_bird": true or false, "species": "common species name in all lower case letters", "gender": "male or female or unknown", "count": number of birds of this species in the screenshot, "confidence": confidence score between 0 and 1, "non_bird_species": "non-bird species if any" }. Only return JSON, do not return any other data. If the screenshot has no bird set is_bird to false and set non_bird_species to the most prominent non-bird object in the image, if any. If there is no bird, still calculate the confidence score between 0 and 1 for what you believe is in the image. Do not put the JSON in a codeblock, return only JSON. Confidence score should be realistic. If the image is blurry make sure to score the confidence lower. If the bird or object in the image is only partially visible, score the confidence lower. Use good judgement. The bird feeder is located on a deck in Minnesota, USA so please make identifications realistic to this location.
