Abstract
dense reed-bed some 30 feet behind.It looked about as large as a Song Sparrow, slate grey all over with black wings and back spotted with small white specks.The iris was bright red.Knowing it to be a Little Black Rail almost as soon as flushed, I shouted to my companions who immediately turned rotund and saw the bird while it flew past and back of me.They were able with glasses to make out all the color markings except the red eye.I had a pair of prism glasses, but was unable to use them as the bird was too near.The flight is much more feeble than that of any other rail with which I am familiar; the bird seemed barely able to sustain its weight in the air, while its legs dangled down helplessly behind.Unless seen at very close range this species would resemble, I think, a young Sofa, though to anyone familiar with the latter species the great difference in size would be striking.Unfortunately I had no means of collecting it, and my last remark would seem to prejudice my case, were it not for the facts that (1) the Sara is a rare summer resident on Long Island, (2) its nest and eggs have never been found so early on Long Island as far as I know, and (3) in any case, it would be impossible for a young Sofa to be on the wing by May 24.Finally I have been familiar with the Sora in all plumages for severalyears.Eaton in his' Birds of New York' records five specimens of the Black Rail actually taken in the State, three of them from Long Island.It has also been reported as seen at close range on five occasions from the interior of the State.Accordingly this would be the fourth Long Island record and the eleventh for the State.--LunLowGR•s-coM, New York City.Richardsoh's Owl and Other Owls in Franklin County, New York.--A specimen of Richardson's Owl (Cryptoglaux funerea richardsoni) in the flesh was recently received by the American Museum from Dr. Win.N. MacArtney of Fort Covington, Franldin Co., N.Y.The bird was shot on November 14 in a cedar thicket near Fort Covington, in the township of that name, by Win.N. MacArtney, Jr.Dr. MacArtney writes that he shot one of these Owls in the nearby township of Dundee, Province of Quebec, within a few rods of the State line in 1879 or 1880; and about 1885 one taken in the same town was brought to him, the latter specimen being now in his collection.All three birds were secured in late fall or early winter.Eaton, in his recently published ' Birds of New York,' states that there appear to be but two defi•fite records of Richardson's Owl in the State, one from Oneida County, the other from Essex County.Dr. MacArtney states that during the winter the Snowy Owl is frequently observed, and occasionally the Hawk Owl, Barred Owl and Great Gray Owl.The Long-eared Owl is seen at times, while the Great Horned, Saw-whet and Screech Owls are common, the rufus phase of the last being rather rare.--W.D•W.MmLER, American Museum of Natural History.Lewis's Woodpecker taken in Saskatchewan.--Afine plumage adult male was taken at Ylerchel, September 24, 1914, and is now mounted in 228 General Notes.

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.
