Chloroceryle amazona
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.
Recorded months differ by region across its range, and each place page shows the months where it is recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Amazon Kingfisher 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.
