Black-cheeked Woodpecker
Melanerpes pucherani
Tortuguero, Arenal and Monteverde are among the three atlas places where the Black-cheeked Woodpecker is recorded. Its records concentrate in Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, Ecuador and Guatemala, and the atlas holds about 179,000 records of the species across nine countries. This map follows where those records gather.
Records of this member of the Picidae family span the year, occurring through 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 Black-cheeked 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.
