With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Yuhina sighting in Chongqing on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 38th most-seen of the 65 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.
January to March
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Yuhina in Chongqing on a given day, against under 5% in October, the lowest month. Those are among Chongqing's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 210 mm in June. September has too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-chinned Yuhina sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Black-chinned Yuhina sightings, Chongqing ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Chengdu (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-chinned Yuhina is recorded against all the birds logged in Chongqing (12 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.
