Rupornis magnirostris
The Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Manuel Antonio are among the four atlas places where the Roadside Hawk is recorded. Its records concentrate in Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, Belize and Ecuador, and the map shows where these sightings gather most thickly. There are about 434,000 open records of this bird from 18 countries.
Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, the active months 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 Roadside Hawk 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.
