Columbina inca
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Big Bend 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 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: 2 squares of 25 km carry records for Inca Dove in and around Big Bend National Park, and the 2,194 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.
Manuel Antonio, Arenal and Monteverde are the three atlas places where the Inca Dove is recorded. Its records concentrate in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala, with about 616,000 open records across seven countries. This map shows where these records concentrate.
Of the 15 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Big Bend National Park, the Inca Dove is the 8th most recorded.
