Saltator maximus
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Podocarpus 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 Buff-throated Saltator in and around Podocarpus National Park, and the 1,440 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 six atlas places where the Buff-throated Saltator is recorded. Its records concentrate in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, and the atlas map follows where these observations gather. There are about 328,000 open records of this bird from 12 countries.
