Abstract
Shorebirds (Charadriiformes: Charadriidae, Recurvirostridae, and Scolopacidae) migrate through Tennessee enroute to their wintering grounds in South America and coastal U.S .and to their breeding grounds in northern U .S. and Canada.Of the 3 1 shorebirds that are discussed here, only the Killdeer (Charadrius vociferud and S p t d Sandpiper (Actitis muculariaj are known to nest in Tennessee.Suitable inland stopover sites are generally scarce with most migrants depending on the exposed shoreline of lakes and rivers.Spring rains begin to fill reservoirs in April, thereby eliminating the majority of this habitat during peak migration periods.Conversely, reservoir shorelines are usually not exposed until mid-October, after peak fall shorebird numbers have passed through.Consequently, inland areas suitable for resting and feeding of migrant shorebirds are very valuable.The Kingston Steam Plant (KSP), located near the confluence of the Clinch and Emory Rivers and about 5 km from Walden Ridge in Roane County, is one of the few sites in Tennessee where large numbers of migrant shorebirds stop with a high degree of predictability.Birds are attracted to the flats and open waters of the plant's 80 ha ash disposal area (Figure 1 ).The first published shorebird records for this site appeared in 1970 just three years after the ash disposal area was completed.Scattered records of shorebird sightings appear in the literature from [1970][1971][1972][1973][1974][1975][1976][1977][1978].However, intensive birding was not conducted until 1979 when the site became widely recognized by ornithological groups in the State.In recognition of its ornithological importance, the KSP was designated as part of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agencyo< Wildlife Observation Area program in 1981.This program identifies and promotes public use of areas in Tennessee with large concentrations of observable wildlife.Although shorebirds are the primary attraction of the KSP site, many species of waterfowl.herons, gulls, terns.raptors, and sparrows are also regularly seen (Checklist of Waterbirds of the Kingston Steam Plant, L. J. Fowler, 1983 ).The purpose of this paper is to summarize records on the shorebirds of Kingston Steam Plant frdm 1970 to March 1983.Based upon these records, early and late observation dates and maximum numbets of each species are listed for both spring and fall seasons.Records for this paper were taken from The Migranr, American Birds, International Shorebird Survey computer printout ( 1 980-19831, and from my personal log (1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982).Nomenclature follows the American Ornithologists ' Union's Checklist of North American Birds (6th edition, 1983).

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.
