Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Boyaca Antpitta sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Chingaza National Natural Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Boyaca Antpitta is recorded against all the birds logged in Chingaza National Natural Park (141 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.
