Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gray Seedeater in Caracas on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gray Seedeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Caracas (112 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.
