Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl

Glaucidium brasilianum

Overview

Arenal, Manuel Antonio and Monteverde are among the three atlas places where the Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl is recorded. Its records gather most thickly in Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Belize and Guatemala. The atlas holds about 161,000 open records of this bird from 20 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.

Recorded months differ by region, and each place page shows the timeline for that area.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl 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.
