Melanerpes rubricapillus
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Osa Peninsula, 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: 8 squares of 25 km carry records for Red-crowned Woodpecker in and around Osa Peninsula, and the 16,255 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.
Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Manuel Antonio are the three atlas places where the Red-crowned Woodpecker is recorded, with records concentrated in Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica. The atlas holds about 310,000 open records of this bird from five countries, including Venezuela and Trinidad & Tobago. Because this is a partial range, the map shows where these records gather most thickly.
Of the 145 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Osa Peninsula, the Red-crowned Woodpecker is the 6th most recorded.
