Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Hawaiʻi Volcanoes 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 Common Waxbill in and around Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, and the 1,101 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.
Kruger National Park, Garden Route National Park and uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are among thirteen atlas places where the Common Waxbill is recorded. Records concentrate most in South Africa, Portugal and the United States, followed by Spain and Brazil. The atlas holds about 278,000 records of this bird across thirteen countries, and the map shows where these observations gather.
Of the 5 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, the Common Waxbill is the 2nd most recorded.
