Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bare-faced Curassow sighting in Amboró National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 146th most-seen of the 273 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bare-faced Curassow in Amboró National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–May, July–September and November, the lowest months. June has too few records to rate.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bare-faced Curassow sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Bare-faced Curassow sightings, Amboró National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Parque Estadual Encontro das Águas (Brazil, about 50%), Emas National Park (Brazil, about 50%) and Serra da Canastra National Park (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bare-faced Curassow is recorded against all the birds logged in Amboró National Park (18 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
