Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant sighting in Arequipa on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 43rd most-seen of the 61 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant in Arequipa on a given day, against under 5% in June–August and October–April, the lowest months. Those are among Arequipa's driest months, with almost no rain against 45 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-billed Tit-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.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant sightings, Arequipa ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Cochabamba (Bolivia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in Arequipa (18 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.
