Abstract
In 1984 my live-in housekeeper and I went to the New England spring flower show.After we had thoroughly seen all the articles on exhibit, Miss Rielly wanted to go to the commercial section.So we did and soon met a man named Monti.He was selling shallow birdbaths.Bridie said, "We have to buy two so the small birds can take a bath."I protested feebly but ended by purchasing two of them.This was the best purchase I ever made.At my house birding has never been the same.The bestnever equaled -was May 17, 1987.Coming to one or the other Monti birdbaths that day were: 1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, 4 species of thmshes (including Gray-cheeked, no Wood), 1 Philadelphia Vireo, 33 warblers (including 4 Tetmessees, 2 Cape Mays, 1 Blackburnian, 6 Bay-breasteds, 1 Wilson's, and 1 Canada), and 1 Scarlet Tanager male.To see 6 Bay-breasteds splashing away all at once is something I will never forget.Other highlights: May 7, 1985.A Bay-breasted took a bath.After he left, a Worm-eating took his bath.May 14, 1985.A gorgeous Orange-crowned Warbler showing his topknot splashed around in a birdbath for five minutes.Why couldn't it be ten minutes, I thought wistfully.April 22, 1988.I was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper, and my housekeeper said, "There's a red bird in the birdbath.""A cardinal," I said casually."Oh no," said Bridie, "I know cardinals.This bird does not have a crest and this bird is pinkish red."" Jesus Christ!"I hollered." SUMMER TANAGER!" Bridie said, somewhat severely, "Don't swear."It was a Summer Tanager -he was beautiful.May 19, 1991.A Swainson's Thrush bathed to the point that he looked almost all water.Gray-cheeked?Then he showed us his cheek and eye ring.I still like to see him, I mumbled to myself.Later in the day a Cape May Warbler and a Blackthroated Blue took baths.I like the BTB -he looks so clean and neat.May 1 1992.My housekeeper said, "There is a funny-looking oriole in the birdbath."I went, "Orchard!"May 13, 1992.A Nashville Warbler in one of the birdbaths.I like his looks too.May 21, 1992.A Swainson's Thrush in a birdbath.May 11, 1993.A Magnolia Warbler splashing away happily.To me this is a lousy name.I like Audubon's "Black-and-Yellow Warbler" much better.May 19, 1994.My housekeeper sang out, "There is a funny-looking chickadee in a birdbath."I went, "Blackpoll Warbler."May 3, 1995.A Yellow-throated Vireo in a birdbath, a first for Brookline.May 14, 1997.A handsome Gray-cheeked Thrush took a bath.April 20, 1998.Brown Thrasher took a bath.One of my favorite birds.I grieve they 340

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.
