Atlantic Flyway Review: Region Iv
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As usual in Region IV, there was little consistency in the fall banding in 1982.Two stations (Alfred Station and Powdermill) had extremely good banding results.Two stations (Maitland River, Ontario and Presque Isle) had very poor years.The other stations reported about average.The northern stations tended toward the average to poor.Except for Presque Isle, the best banding was found in the southern New York-Pennsylvania region.Short distances can bring about great differences in numbers: note the remarks about Alfred Station rs.Farmersville Station.The TV tower kill-records from the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences show the largest bird kill ever this fall.Over 3500 birds of 53 species were collected from 21 September to 29 September.This indicated a massive nocturnal migration.Yet Beaver Meadow, 10 miles (16.1 km) easl, and Farmersville Station 15 miles (24.1 km) southeast had an average-to-poor migration.Obviously the birds overflew our banding stations during these nights.Allegheny Front records indicated an early movement of birds through their area.Powdermill commented on the continuous movement rather than the normal "waves."The Purple Finch, House Finch.and American Goldfinch were banded in greater than normal numbers.Depending upon the location, warblers could be "best ever" to very poor.Sparrows seem to be down this fall at many stations.The Buffalo-Western New York area is incorrectly maligned by the media for its "Siberian" type weather.This fall has been mild and open.The ponds at Farmersville Station were still unfrozen 31 December.Due to this unseasonal weather, flocks of Canada Geese were seen in the area daily.A flock of 50 remained on these ponds past the first of the new year.However, even with the lack of snow, there have not been many half-hardy birds remaining at the feeders.Also, no winter finches have moved into the area.Evening Grosbeaks are few and far between.We welcome John Mitton to Region IV of the Atlantic Flyway Review.John started banding at Beaver Meadow Audubon Center and spent one session as an intern at Mahomet Bird Observatory.His station is located just east of East Aurora, NY.Any bander is welcome to send his station-banding-reports for publication in the Atlantic Flyway Review.Please contact the region coordinator for information.

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.
