Melanerpes formicivorus
Manuel Antonio is the atlas park where the Acorn Woodpecker is recorded, and its records concentrate in the United States, Colombia and Costa Rica, followed by Belize and Guatemala. The atlas holds about 1.4 million open records of the bird from eight countries. This map shows where those records concentrate.
Records of Melanerpes formicivorus span the entire year, occurring in every month.
Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Acorn Woodpecker 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.
