Wood Stork
Mycteria americana
Monteverde, the Osa Peninsula and Arenal are among the four atlas places where the Wood Stork is recorded. Records of this bird gather most thickly in the United States, Costa Rica, Mexico, Belize and Brazil. The atlas holds about 597,000 open records of the species from 11 countries, and the map follows where they concentrate. Because this bird is recorded across both hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Wood Stork 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.
