Chloroceryle americana
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, May, June, July, August, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in January, February, March, May, June, July, August, 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 Green Kingfisher in and around Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, and the 286 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 atlas holds about 201,000 open records of this bird from 17 countries, and the map follows where these records gather.
