Only La Paz, in our data
La Paz is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-hooded Sierra-Finch sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-hooded Sierra-Finch is recorded against all the birds logged in La Paz (15 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.
