Swainson's Thrush

Catharus ustulatus

Overview

Arenal and Monteverde are the two atlas parks where Swainson's Thrush is recorded, with observations concentrating in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Colombia. The atlas contains about 889,000 records of this bird across seven countries. Because the map shows where these records concentrate, it reflects a partial view of the species range.

Records are seasonal, peaking in May, September and October. The months with the fewest records are January, February, March, November and December.

Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.

Recorded in and around these atlas places

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Swainson's Thrush 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.
