Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Puna Yellow-Finch sighting in La Paz on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 70th most-seen of the 88 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Puna Yellow-Finch in La Paz on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–November, the lowest months. That is one of La Paz's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain against 10 mm in June.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Puna Yellow-Finch sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only La Paz, in our data
La Paz is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Puna Yellow-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 Puna Yellow-Finch is recorded against all the birds logged in La Paz (10 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.
