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.
