Himantopus mexicanus
Monteverde and Arenal are the two atlas parks where the Black-necked Stilt is recorded, with records concentrating in the United States, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, and Canada. The atlas holds about 1 million open records of this bird from 17 countries, and the map shows where these records gather.
Recorded seasons differ by region, and each place page shows the months when it was recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Black-necked Stilt 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.
