Great Kiskadee

Pitangus sulphuratus

Overview

Arenal, the Osa Peninsula and Manuel Antonio are among the six atlas places where the Great Kiskadee is recorded. Records concentrate most heavily in Costa Rica, Mexico, the United States, Brazil and Argentina. The atlas holds about 1.4 million records of the bird across 20 countries, and the map shows where these sightings concentrate.

Because the Great Kiskadee is recorded in 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 Great Kiskadee 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.
