Abstract
ow numbers but great rarities--that sums up fall 2001.This second tranquil autumn in a row featured few weather events to concentrate or ground migrants, and numbers remained below average at hawk watches, banding stations, sea and lake watches.Fronts had some effect on 15 September (Broad-winged Hawks), on 28 September (Canada Geese, jaegers, thrushes), and in mid-October (jaegers, Sabine's Gulls), especially in the north.The first massive front arrived 28 October, when waterfowl and raptors were primed to move.It grounded 35 Black Scoters in Dutchess, NY, carried 13,568 Double-crested Cormorants and nearly 50,000 scoters past the seawatch at Avalon, NJ, pushed the season's highest Buteo and Accipiter counts past many hawk watches, and permitted the owl-banders at Cape May to catch 18 Long-eared and 46 Northern Saw-whet Owls, their best night of the fall.Rainstorms in late August and late September did little to palliate the intensifying drought.The rainfall deficit exceeded 25 cm in many places by December.Few cones, seeds, or berries developed.Low food supply may explain the relatively low number of lingerers, despite the warmest November since the 1931 Dustbowl and the first snow-free November in 122 years in Buffalo.Mild weather also delayed the movement of temperature-responsive migrants like waterfowl.Record-early arrivals in upstate New York with the 28 September cold front (Brant, Harlequin Duck, Red Phalarope) were therefore a surprise.An outbreak of type-e botulism on L. Erie killed several thousand loons, ducks, and gulls.The season was remarkable mainly for outstanding rarities, many of them gratifyingly well documented.White-faced Storm-Petrel, Pacific Golden-Plover, Masked Booby, Wood Storks, Great White Herons, Black-chinned and Calliope Hummingbirds, Hammond's and Fork-tailed Flycatchers, and Cave Swallows all made this season memorable.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
