Abstract
General Notes tJulyRing-necked Duck breeding in Ontario.--Recentnumbers of 'The Auk' have carried short notes and full-length articles on the increase in breeding range of the Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris).This spread was apparent to the writer as early as 1939, at least, and while notes on this increase in range were forwarded to Ontario authorities, no published comment has, as yet, been forthcoming.The writer has summered in the Huntsville-Lake of Bays region of Ontario for many years, particularly at Rebecca Lake, about fourteen miles northeast of Huntsville.This lake is in the northeast corner of the District of Muskoka, a few miles from the surrounding districts of Parry Sound, Nipissing, and Haliburton.About one-quarter of a mile south of Rebecca Lake is a small, somewhat marshy lake, known as ManselFs Lake, which has certain attractions to waterfowl.Unfortunately, while access to this lake is to a point of good vantage, ducks, as a rule, keep to the far shore, only occasionally permitting positive identification.Thus, while ducks have been seen there since 1933, when the writer commenced note-keeping, it was not until 1939 that positive identification of the Ring-necked Duck was made.On August 6 of that year, a female and nine striped young were seen.An additional four, apparently full-grown, were on the lake but farther away.

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.
