Galbula ruficauda
The Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Arenal are among four atlas places where the Rufous-tailed Jacamar is recorded. Its records concentrate in Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Belize and Venezuela. The atlas holds about 133,000 open records of this bird from 14 countries, and the map follows where these records gather most thickly.
Recorded 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 Rufous-tailed Jacamar 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.
