Chloroceryle amazona
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, 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 January, February, March, April, May, June 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: 5 squares of 25 km carry records for Amazon Kingfisher in and around Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, and the 1,958 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 Tortuguero are among the six atlas places where the Amazon Kingfisher is recorded. Records concentrate most heavily in Costa Rica, Brazil and Colombia, and the map shows where these records gather. The atlas contains about 131,000 open records of this bird from 19 countries, including Peru and Panama.
Of the 23 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, the Amazon Kingfisher is the most recorded.
