Mniotilta varia
Arenal and Monteverde are the two atlas parks where the Black-and-white Warbler is recorded, with records concentrating most heavily in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Belize, and Mexico. The atlas holds about 1.2 million open records of this bird from eight countries. This map tracks where those records cluster rather than the full range of the Mniotilta varia.
Recorded sightings peak from April to May and again from July to October, with fewer records occurring from December through March.
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-and-white Warbler 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.
