Myiozetetes similis
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Arenal, 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. 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: 4 squares of 25 km carry records for Social Flycatcher in and around Arenal, and the 42,151 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.
The Osa Peninsula, Arenal and Corcovado are among six atlas places where the Social Flycatcher is recorded. Records concentrate most heavily in Costa Rica, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Panama. The atlas holds about 730,000 records of this bird from 16 countries, and the map follows where they concentrate most.
Of the 193 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Arenal, the Social Flycatcher is the 10th most recorded.
