Thinking About Lidar

The resolution of WSR-88D isn’t ideal for viewing birds. I am thinking about using lidar in a closed space such as a small canyon or valley. I want to literally turn the lidar on its head and scan the area above it. I am curious if this would be able to give accurate bird counts. I am also curious to see if there is a way to actually take the timing of the scans and use them to create an image of the actual bird. Meanderings of the mind.
