Catharus ustulatus
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Glacier 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, August and September, with the widest coverage in May, June, July, August and September. 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 Swainson's Thrush in and around Glacier National Park, and the 2,946 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 Swainson's Thrush is recorded, with observations concentrating in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Colombia. The atlas contains about 889,000 records of this bird across seven countries. Because the map shows where these records concentrate, it reflects a partial view of the species range.
Of the 4 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Glacier National Park, the Swainson's Thrush is the most recorded.
