Crow Box AI/ML - Crow Recognition

I built thecrowbox dot com. I rigged up a wyze camera for motion alerts. I am trying to revamp the project entirely, but one of my main goals is crow detection (vs squirrels or other birds). I think I can use YOLO for object detection for the items they bring. I bought a RPi 5 (8GB Ram). I see there is also an AI Camera. I see that some projects can do object detection with ESP32s?

I am not really sure how to start this project. Can anyone please help provide some guidance. I am just starting with AI/ML, but I am willing/wanting to learn. How should I go about learning and building this project?

The Deep Learning Specialization, Course 4, covers Convolutional Neural Networks. That’s the key technology for object detection.
