Limosa fedoa
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Joshua Tree 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: 1 square of 25 km carry records for Marbled Godwit in and around Joshua Tree National Park, and the 1,251 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.
Monteverde and Arenal are the two atlas places where the Marbled Godwit is recorded, and its records concentrate in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama. The atlas holds about 555,000 records of this bird from six countries. Because the map follows where these records concentrate, it represents a partial view of its full range.
Of the 8 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Joshua Tree National Park, the Marbled Godwit is the 6th most recorded.
