With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-faced Warbler sighting in Chengdu on a given day, based on 73 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 36th most-seen of the 156 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-faced Warbler in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in September, the lowest month. That is one of Chengdu's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 270 mm in August.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rufous-faced Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
4th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Rufous-faced Warbler sightings, Chengdu ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Guiyang (China, about 70%), Chongqing (China, about 30%) and Hefei (China, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-faced Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Chengdu (73 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.
