Red-legged Honeycreeper

Cyanerpes cyaneus

Overview

Corcovado, Arenal and the Osa Peninsula are among five atlas places where the Red-legged Honeycreeper is recorded. Records of this bird gather most thickly in Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, Guatemala and Mexico. The atlas holds about 206,000 open records of the species across 17 countries, and the map shows where these sightings concentrate.

Because this bird is recorded across both hemispheres, 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 Red-legged Honeycreeper 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.
