Atlantic Flyway Review: Region II (North Central) Fall 2016
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Region II continued with four stations this year.We were happy not to lose anyone this year, but we are eagerly searching out new stations to supplement this area.Region II covers territory stretching from western Quebec and eastern Ontario (including Ottawa and North Bay) through most ofNew York and part of northern Pennsylvania.Currently, McGill Bird Observatory is the only station in Canada, and we also lack coverage in the eastern half of New York.New stations are always welcome! Fall20 15 will be remembered for the strong El Nifio pattern which brought warmer-than-average temperatures to much of the northeast throughout the season.All four stations in Region II were open later into the fall, but three of four stations reported banding fewer birds than the previous year.The influx of Slate-colored Juncos in 2014 seems to have subsided, and no species stands out this year across the region as being especially successful.On the negative side, White-throated Sparrows (WTSP) appear to have had a less successful year than in 2014.Although it is at the top of the "Top 1 0" lists at three of four stations, numbers ofWTSP banded at Braddock Bay and McGill are much lower than last year.In 2015, Braddock Bay Bird Observatory banded 598 WTSPs compared to 947 in 2014 and a 10-yr average of921.McGill's 326 WTSP were right in line with its 1 0-yr average of 342, but were much lower than 2014's total of 484 birds.

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.
