Ramphocelus passerinii
Osa Peninsula, Tortuguero and Manuel Antonio are among the six atlas places where Passerini's Tanager is recorded. Its records concentrate in Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua, though the atlas also holds records from Belize and Honduras. There are about 311,000 open records of this bird across seven countries, and the map follows where these records gather most thickly.
Records of this member of the Thraupidae family span the entire year, appearing in the atlas through every month.
Each bar is the share of its 193 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Passerini's Tanager 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.
