Highlights from the DOS Pacific Northwest TripSeptember 8-16, 2005
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Occasionally, DOS sponsors a bird trip outside its normal Delaware Valley/Delmarva Peninsula range.This year we traveled to the land of Lewis and Clark and spent nine days birding five of the nine eco-regions adopted by the Washington Natural Heritage Program, plus an overnight trip to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.The weather was almost perfect; low humidity, sunny, and warm with the only exception being our last day on Mt.Rainier, where at an elevation of 7,000 feet, we had snow.The initial part of the trip focused on the coast where we found three Pacific Golden-Plovers at a place called Ocean Shores.Farther south in the village of Tokeland we found a lone Bar-tailed Godwit keeping company with a hundred plus Marbled Godwits.Because of rough seas, our planned pelagic out of Westport was aborted.Fortunately, that decision was not made until we reached the final sand bar separating Gray's Harbor from the Ocean, thus enabling us to pick up few pelagic species and the target shorebirds -Surfbird and Wandering Tattler on the massive jetty.Next, we drove our van north toward the Canadian border.Along the way we birded a state forest that yielded among other birds a tree hosting 120 Band-tailed Pigeons, probably the most I have ever seen in a single location.From Anacortes we sailed our first of four ferries through the San Juan Islands to Sidney, British Columbia where at the nearby airport we found a half dozen Skylarks.Our day in Victoria was as close as you're going to get to Britain in North America.The capital city of this Canadian province was clean, friendly, and full of gardens.This is where we

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.
