With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut-bellied Seedeater sighting in Manaus on a given day, based on 80 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 34th most-seen of the 116 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.
August
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut-bellied Seedeater in Manaus on a given day, against under 5% in July, the lowest month. That is one of Manaus's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 270 mm in March.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chestnut-bellied Seedeater 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 Manaus, in our data
Manaus is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Chestnut-bellied Seedeater sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chestnut-bellied Seedeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Manaus (80 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.
