Black-bellied Whistling Duck

Dendrocygna autumnalis

Overview

Manuel Antonio and the Osa Peninsula are two atlas places where the Black-bellied Whistling Duck is recorded, and records concentrate in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and Belize. The atlas holds about 733,000 records of the bird from 11 countries. Because the range is partial, the map indicates where these records cluster.

Recording months differ by region across the two hemispheres. Each place page in the atlas shows the particular months when the species is recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Black-bellied Whistling Duck 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.
