Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Streak-throated Bush-Tyrant sighting in Amboró National Park on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 140th 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.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Streak-throated Bush-Tyrant in Amboró National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–May, the lowest months. That is one of Amboró National Park's driest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 340 mm in January. June has too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Streak-throated Bush-Tyrant sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Streak-throated Bush-Tyrant sightings, Amboró National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Chingaza National Natural Park (Colombia, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Streak-throated Bush-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in Amboró National Park (24 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.
