Columbina passerina
Arenal and Monteverde are the two atlas parks where the Common Ground Dove is recorded, with records gathering most in the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica and the Bahamas. The atlas holds about 564,000 open records of this bird from 23 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Records of Columbina passerina run year-round, appearing in 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 Common Ground Dove 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.
