Cinclus mexicanus
Monteverde and Arenal are the two atlas places where the American Dipper is recorded, and its records concentrate in the United States, Canada and Costa Rica. The atlas holds about 138,000 records of this bird across six countries, including Panama and Mexico. Because the range is partial, the map indicates where these records cluster.
This species is recorded year-round, with observations 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 American Dipper 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.
