Streptoprocne zonaris
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Manú 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 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: 6 squares of 25 km carry records for White-collared Swift in and around Manú National Park, and the 5,673 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, Arenal and Manuel Antonio are among the six atlas places where the White-collared Swift is recorded. Its records concentrate in Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Guatemala. The atlas holds about 212,000 open records of this bird from 14 countries, and the map shows where these records cluster. Because this species is recorded in both hemispheres, the recorded months differ by region and are listed on each individual place page.
Of the 67 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Manú National Park, the White-collared Swift is the 5th most recorded.
