Zonotrichia capensis
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Lanín 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 Rufous-collared Sparrow in and around Lanín National Park, and the 1,888 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, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio are among three atlas places where the Rufous-collared Sparrow is recorded. Its records concentrate in Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina and Ecuador, and the map follows where these sightings gather. The atlas holds about 828,000 records of this bird from 15 countries.
Of the 6 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Lanín National Park, the Rufous-collared Sparrow is the 2nd most recorded.
