Bibliographic record
Abstract
Birds of Prey were shown, such as the Bald Eagle, Cooper's Hawk, American Kestrel, and Merlin.Turkey Vultures are numerous and use the thermals to gain height and soar, looking for carrion.Ruffed Grouse and Wild Turkey also featured.Sandhill Cranes and Whooping Cranes caused some discussion, then the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon was mentioned-the reasons being overhunting combined with slow breeding.¢ Moving on to the nightjars and owls, we were treated to the call * of the Whippoorwill-and realised how it got its name!Owls we % "don't see here include the Snowy Owl which breeds on the 'ground in the tundra, and is only seen on southern Quebec in winter; the Eastern Screech Owl whose call resembled a horse neighing; the Great Horned Owl and the Long-eared Owl, the latter living in forests.Barred Owls and Saw-whet Owls ap-Ps Ai e peared, and one of the largest owls, the my \ Great Grey Owl.It lives in the northern for-Great greyowl tests and is totally adapted to hunting voles beneath the snow, hearing their tunneling noises and gliding silently to the snow surface, plunging face & Bill Murphy."The

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
