Icthyophaga vocifer
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Okavango Delta, aggregated onto a 25 km grid. A cell is matched by its centre, which can sit up to 16 km outside the boundary, so this covers the surrounding country too.
Occurrence records measure where people looked and found something, which is not the same as where the animal is. This is a relative likelihood, not a probability.
Records exist for January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in May, June, July, August, September and November. A quiet month can mean the animal was absent, or that nobody was looking.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 8 squares of 25 km carry records for African Fish Eagle in and around Okavango Delta, and the 5,213 records behind them were collected by other people and published openly. Nothing here counts animals, and a place with more records is not always a place with more animals.
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the Okavango Delta are among the 25 atlas places where the African Fish Eagle is recorded. Records concentrate most in South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Uganda and Botswana, with about 143,000 open records across 18 countries. The map follows where these records gather.
Of the 62 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Okavango Delta, the African Fish Eagle is the 4th most recorded.
