Buteo plagiatus
Arenal, Manuel Antonio and Monteverde are the three atlas places where the Grey Hawk is recorded, with records concentrating in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize and Guatemala. The atlas holds about 293,000 records of this bird from eight countries, and the map follows where these records gather most thickly.
Records of Buteo plagiatus are available year-round, spanning every month of the calendar.
Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Grey Hawk as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
