Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-vented Thrush sighting in Cali on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 183rd most-seen of the 226 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-vented Thrush in Cali on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale-vented Thrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Cali, in our data
Cali is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pale-vented Thrush sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-vented Thrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Cali (10 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.
