Volatinia jacarina
The Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Arenal are among the four atlas places where the Blue-black Grassquit is recorded, with records concentrated in Costa Rica, Colombia, Belize, Panama and Brazil. The atlas holds about 250,000 open records for this bird from 17 countries, and the map follows where these records gather.
Recorded months differ by region, and each place page shows the months where the species is recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Blue-black Grassquit 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.
