Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-hooded Thrush sighting in Caracas on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 267th most-seen of the 295 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 Black-hooded Thrush in Caracas on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-hooded Thrush 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 Caracas, in our data
Caracas is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-hooded Thrush sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Turdus
The closest relatives of the Black-hooded Thrush that you can see in Caracas (genus Turdus, Typical Thrushes) are Bare-eyed Thrush (about 40%) and Pale-breasted Thrush (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-hooded Thrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Caracas (8 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.
