Setophaga pitiayumi
Arenal and Monteverde are the two atlas places where the Tropical Parula is recorded. Its records concentrate in Costa Rica, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia and Argentina. The atlas holds about 243,000 open records of this bird from 16 countries, and the map shows where these records gather.
Because the Tropical Parula is recorded in both hemispheres, its seasons differ by region. Each place page in the atlas shows the months it was recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Tropical Parula 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.
