With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oven Frog sighting in Buenos Aires on a given day, based on 101 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 7th most-seen of the 13 amphibians 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.
February and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oven Frog in Buenos Aires on a given day, against under 5% in April and July–August, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Oven Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Oven Frog sightings, Buenos Aires ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Rosario (Argentina, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oven Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Buenos Aires (101 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.
