Grace's warblers breed from the south-western United States to Nicaragua and winter in their breeding range from north-eastern Sinaloa and north-western Durango south. They are almost always found in pine forests, even in migration, though at the northern end of their range (in southern Nevada and Utah and southwestern Colorado) they... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Grace's Warbler sighting in Celaque National Park on a given day, based on 77 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 19th most-seen of the 193 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grace's Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grace's Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Celaque National Park (77 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.
