Piaya cayana
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Tambopata 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. 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: 3 squares of 25 km carry records for Squirrel Cuckoo in and around Tambopata National Reserve, and the 2,637 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.
Arenal, Osa Peninsula, and Corcovado are among the five atlas places where the Squirrel Cuckoo, Piaya cayana, is recorded. Its records gather most thickly in the countries of Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama, Brazil, and Belize. The atlas holds about 383,000 open records of this bird from 17 countries, and its map shows where these records concentrate.
Of the 54 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Tambopata National Reserve, the Squirrel Cuckoo is the 7th most recorded.
