Tachybaptus dominicus
Arenal, Monteverde and Tortuguero are the three atlas places where the Least Grebe is recorded. Its records concentrate in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, the Bahamas and Colombia. The atlas holds about 167,000 open records of this bird from 24 countries, and the map shows where these records gather.
Recorded months differ by region, and the page for each place shows the months where it is recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Least Grebe 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.
