Lesser Violetear

Colibri cyanotus

Overview

Arenal, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio are among three atlas places where the Lesser Violetear is recorded. Records concentrate in Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru, and the atlas holds about 158,000 records from seven countries. This map follows where these records gather.

Because this bird is recorded in both hemispheres, the active seasons differ by region, and each place page shows the months recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Lesser Violetear 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.
