Abstract
Molt sequence and timing were previously poorly describedfor the Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia).We recorded molt when owls were in hand during longterm studies (1 977-2011) during the breeding season in Canada and on the wintering grounds in Mexico and Texas.Definitive pre basic molt of flight feathers was complete in near~y all cases and begins with p3, moving proximally and distally, soon followed by secondary molt, which has at least two molt centers at s1 and s5.We provide evidence that wing and tail molt in some individuals is rapid, indicating flight could be compromisedfor short periods of time in late summer.Body molt is documented through the winter in wild and captive owls and is likely a resumption of the preformative and prebasic body molt after migration, but more study is suggested to determine ({a partial prealternate molt occurs.

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 it
