Chloroceryle americana
Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Arenal are among the six atlas places where the Green Kingfisher is recorded. Its records concentrate in the United States, Costa Rica, Mexico, Belize and Brazil. The atlas holds about 201,000 open records of this bird from 17 countries, and the map follows where these records gather.
Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, the active seasons differ by region. Each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Green 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.
