Penelope purpurascens
Osa Peninsula, Tortuguero and Corcovado are among the six atlas places where the Crested Guan is recorded. Records of this bird concentrate primarily in Costa Rica, Ecuador and Guatemala, and the atlas holds about 137,000 records across 11 countries. The map shows where these records gather most thickly.
Observations are recorded year-round, appearing in the data for every month of the calendar.
Each bar is the share of its 199 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Crested Guan 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.
