Cyanocorax morio
Arenal, Manuel Antonio and Monteverde are the three atlas places where the Brown Jay is recorded, with records gathering most thickly in Costa Rica, Belize, Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. The atlas holds about 373,000 open records of this bird from eight countries. Because this map is based on where records concentrate, it shows only a portion of the total range.
Records of the Brown Jay run year-round, appearing in the atlas during 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 Brown Jay 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.
