Red-crowned Woodpecker

Melanerpes rubricapillus

Overview

Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Manuel Antonio are the three atlas places where the Red-crowned Woodpecker is recorded, with records concentrated in Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica. The atlas holds about 310,000 open records of this bird from five countries, including Venezuela and Trinidad & Tobago. Because this is a partial range, the map shows where these records gather most thickly.

Records of Melanerpes rubricapillus occur year-round, appearing in the atlas during every month of the year.

Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.

Recorded in and around these atlas places

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Red-crowned 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.
