Calidris himantopus
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Wapusk National Park, 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 May, June, July and August, with the widest coverage in May, June, July and August. 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: 1 square of 25 km carry records for Stilt Sandpiper in and around Wapusk National Park, and the 596 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.
Arenal and Monteverde are the two atlas parks where the Stilt Sandpiper is recorded. Its records concentrate in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Costa Rica. The atlas holds about 196,000 open records of the bird across 19 countries, and the map shows where these sightings gather.
Of the 3 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Wapusk National Park, the Stilt Sandpiper is the 3rd most recorded.
