With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Evergreen-forest Warbler sighting in Arusha National Park on a given day, based on 70 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 148th most-seen of the 373 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Evergreen-forest Warbler in Arusha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–April, June and December, the lowest months. That is one of Arusha National Park's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain against 440 mm in April.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Evergreen-forest Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Evergreen-forest Warbler sightings, Arusha National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Mkomazi National Park (Tanzania, about 10%) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Evergreen-forest Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Arusha National Park (70 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.
