Megarynchus pitangua
Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Arenal are among the six atlas places where the Boat-billed Flycatcher is recorded. Records concentrate most in Costa Rica, Brazil, Mexico, Panama and Belize, and the atlas map follows where these records gather. There are about 366,000 open records of Megarynchus pitangua across 16 countries.
Recording seasons differ by region, and the months recorded for each location are listed on the place pages.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Boat-billed Flycatcher 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.
