Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stripe-breasted Spinetail sighting in Caracas on a given day, based on 114 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 149th most-seen of the 295 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stripe-breasted Spinetail in Caracas on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stripe-breasted Spinetail sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Stripe-breasted Spinetail sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stripe-breasted Spinetail is recorded against all the birds logged in Caracas (114 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.
