Patagioenas leucocephala
Tortuguero is the atlas place where the White-crowned Pigeon is recorded, with records gathering most thickly across the United States, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Cuba. The atlas holds about 124,000 open records of this bird from 22 countries. Because the mapping is partial, the map follows where these records concentrate.
Records of the White-crowned Pigeon run year-round, appearing in the atlas during every month.
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 White-crowned Pigeon 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.
