Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Greenish Yellow-Finch sighting in Arequipa on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 61 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Greenish Yellow-Finch in Arequipa on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Arequipa's driest months, with almost no rain against 45 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Greenish Yellow-Finch 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 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Greenish Yellow-Finch sightings, Arequipa ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in La Paz (Bolivia, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Greenish Yellow-Finch is recorded against all the birds logged in Arequipa (42 verified sightings), 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.
