Momotus lessonii
The Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Arenal are among five atlas places where Lesson's Motmot is recorded. Records of the species concentrate in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Belize, though they also span Panama and Honduras. The atlas holds about 231,000 open records from eight countries, and the map follows where these records gather.
Records of Lesson's Motmot run through every month of the year.
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 Lesson's Motmot 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.
