Whimbrel
Numenius phaeopus
Arenal, Tortuguero and the Osa Peninsula are among the seven atlas places where the Whimbrel is recorded. Its records concentrate in the United States, Chile, Australia, Spain and Portugal. The atlas holds about 630,000 open records of this bird across 35 countries, and the map follows where these records gather most thickly.
Because the Whimbrel is recorded in both hemispheres, the seasons for sightings differ by region. Each place page in the atlas shows the particular months when it is recorded there.

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