Megarynchus pitangua
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Chapada dos Guimarães 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, with the widest coverage in April, May, June, July, August, September, October and November. 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 Boat-billed Flycatcher in and around Chapada dos Guimarães National Park, and the 1,851 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.
Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Arenal are among the six atlas places where the Boat-billed Flycatcher is recorded. Records concentrate most in Costa Rica, Brazil, Mexico, Panama and Belize, and the atlas map follows where these records gather. There are about 366,000 open records of Megarynchus pitangua across 16 countries.
Of the 35 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Chapada dos Guimarães National Park, the Boat-billed Flycatcher is the 5th most recorded.
