Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I A• located thirty miles northwest of the city of Edmonton, the capitol of Alberta, which is situated in about 114 ø west longitude and 53« ø north latitude.It is in the center of a rich farming district where all kinds of small grains and small fruits are raised in abundance.The country is peculiar in having large and small 'pot holes,' large and small lakes, large and small spruce and tamarack swamps.Portions are very heavily wooded, mostly with birch, black and white poplars, and with an almost inpenetratable deciduous undergrowth.The lm-ger trees afford a splendid nesting site for the arboreal hawks and owls; the birches are the delight of the vireos and grosbeaks, for never was there a more magnificent home for them.The thick deciduous undergrowth forms an ideal retreat for some of the warblers and ground nesting birds.Lakes of all sizes, from a quarter of an acre up to several thousand acres in extent, are found in large numbers; small sloughs and marshy hay meadouTs are everywhere in evidence, furnishing admirable places for ducks, snipe, etc.My list of birds was begun in the summer of 1906, and although I was not able to do much that year, during the summer of 1907-08 and 1909 I kept a careful list, noting the date of first arrival, when the species became common, and when it passed on further north, in case it did not breed here.This is a most interesting locality for one who has time for field work.I have been g•-eatly surprised on several occasions by seeing birds that I did not think were he•:e, nor did any of my ornithological books give them as residents here, nor even as accidental visitants.Of all my surprises the two greatest were when I saw the Mourning Dove and the American Wo6dcock-two species which breed here, but how abundantly I cannot at present venture to say.My list would have been a great deal larger if I had been able to visit the districts lying to the west and south, but as time would not 390 STANSELL, Birds of Central Alberta.

Not 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.
