Galbula ruficauda
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Serra da Canastra 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, May, July, August, September, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in January, February, 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 Rufous-tailed Jacamar in and around Serra da Canastra National Park, and the 324 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.
The Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Arenal are among four atlas places where the Rufous-tailed Jacamar is recorded. Its records concentrate in Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Belize and Venezuela. The atlas holds about 133,000 open records of this bird from 14 countries, and the map follows where these records gather most thickly.
Of the 8 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Serra da Canastra National Park, the Rufous-tailed Jacamar is the 7th most recorded.
