About 1.4 million waterfowl hunters harvested 14,131,800 (±5%) ducks and 3,619,300 (±5%) geese in 2001, and about 1.3 million waterfowl hunters harvested 12,439,000 (±4%) ducks and 3,333,600 (±6%) geese in 2002. Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), green-winged teal (A. crecca), gadwall (A. strepera), wood duck (Aix sponsa), and blue-winged teal (A. discors) were the most-harvested duck species, and Canada goose (Branta canadensis) was the predominant goose species in the harvest. About 1.2 million dove hunters harvested 23,576,000 (±7%) mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) in 2001 and 22,719,100 (±4%) in 2002. Woodcock hunters numbered about 140,000 in 2001 and 148,000 in 2002, and they harvested 341,900 (±19%) birds in 2001 and 265,600 (±18%) in 2002. Among the lesser-hunted species, about 29,000 people hunted snipe in 2001 (24,000 in 2002), and they harvested 85,500 (±39%) and 68,200 (±29%) snipe in 2001 and 2002, respectively; about 6,000 rail hunters harvested 41,200 (±75%) rails in 2001 and 23,800 (±48%) rails in 2002; gallinule hunters (about 8,000 in 2001 and 3,000 in 2002) harvested 11,200 (±77%) gallinules in 2001 and 13,700 (±66%) in 2002; and coot hunters (about 41,000 in 2001 and 22,000 in 2002) harvested 284,400 (±80%) coots in 2001 and 205,400 (±89%) in 2002.

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.
