Streptoprocne zonaris
Osa Peninsula, Arenal and Manuel Antonio are among the six atlas places where the White-collared Swift is recorded. Its records concentrate in Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Guatemala. The atlas holds about 212,000 open records of this bird from 14 countries, and the map shows where these records cluster. Because this species is recorded in both hemispheres, the recorded months differ by region and are listed on each individual place page.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the White-collared Swift 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.
