The status of diurnal raptor populations on La Gonave, Haiti
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: La Gonâve, Haiti, is the largest Hispaniolan satellite island, yet it is rarely visited by birders. We searched for diurnal raptors on La Gonâve for seven days between 9 May and 1 June 2012. We observed American Kestrels (Falco sparverius), Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), and Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura), including evidence of active nesting attempts by American Kestrels and Red-tailed Hawks. We present a brief historical review of Haitian raptors and species records from La Gonâve. The island’s habitats are currently suitable for these common generalist species, but less so for more specialized species.

 Resumen: El estatus de las poblaciones de rapaces diurnas en La Gonâve, Haití—La isla satélite de La Gonâve en Haití es la más grande de La Española, pero recibe muy pocas visitas de observadores de aves. Buscamos rapaces diurnos por siete días entre el 9 mayo y el 1 junio de 2012. Observamos el Cernícalo americano (Falco sparverius), el Guaraguao colirrojo (Buteo jamaicensis) y el Aura tiñosa (Cathartes aura), incluyendo evidencia de intentos activos de anidación por el Cernícalo americano y el Guaraguao colirrojo. También presentamos un breve resumen histórico sobre los rapaces haitianos y registros de especies en La Gonâve. Los hábitats de la isla actualmente son adecuados para estas especies generalistas comunes, pero no tanto para las especies más especializadas.

 Résumé: Statut des populations de rapaces diurnes sur l’île de La Gonâve, Haïti—La Gonâve, Haïti est la plus grande île satellite d’Hispaniola, mais elle est rarement visitée par les ornithologues. Nous avons recherché des rapaces diurnes sur cette île pendant sept jours entre le 9 mai et le 1er juin 2012. Nous avons observé des Crécerelles d’Amérique (Falco sparverius), des Buses à queue rousse (Buteo jamaicensis) et des Urubus à tête rouge (Cathartes aura), ainsi que des preuves de tentatives de nidification actives de ces deux premières espèces. Nous présentons ici un bref historique des mentions indiquant la présence de rapaces et d’espèces d’Haïti sur La Gonâve. Les habitats de l’île conviennent actuellement à ces espèces généralistes communes, mais répondent moins aux besoins des espèces plus spécialisées.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
