2022 Atlantic Flyway Review Spring Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Braddock Bay Bird Observatory is situated on the south shore of Lake Ontario midway between the eastern and western ends of the lake.The early successional site is dominated by fruiting woody plants -primarily dogwood, viburnum, and honeysuckle -along with a mixed wet forest until recently dominated by ash, and a field of grasses and goldenrod.The 36th consecutive year of spring migration monitoring at the Kaiser-Manitou Beach banding station was carried out for 45 days beginning 15 Apr and ending on 31 May 2021.Four days were entirely lost to inclement weather.3,942 birds of 87 species and one hybrid form were banded, exceeding Spring 2020's total by 654 birds.There were no new species this season; our spring cumulative total stands at 139 species with 140 identified subspecies, and two additional hybrid forms.Constant effort-mist netting was carried out using 32 nets.Included in the total were six doublehigh assemblies.A total of 8,512.25 net hours of banding resulted in a capture rate of 46.3 birds per 100 net hours, compared with 47.9 birds per 100 net hours in Spring 2020 and 61.0 birds per 100 net hours in Spring 2019.We recaptured 1,002 individual birds a total of 1,350 times; 527 birds were captured after their initial banding day.Of these recaptures, 70 returned from a previous season.52.9% of the returning birds had originally been banded as hatch year birds.The oldest of the returning birds was a Common Yellowthroat in its 10 th year; a Northern Waterthrush and a Yellow Warbler both in their 9 th years; a Gray Catbird in its 7 th year; a Redeyed Vireo, a Gray Catbird, a Baltimore Oriole, a Northern Cardinal, and a Yellow Warbler each in their 6 th years; and 16 birds in their 4 th or 5 th year.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
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.
