With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mouse-brown Sunbird sighting in Monrovia on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 15th most-seen of the 59 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mouse-brown Sunbird in Monrovia on a given day, against about 10% in June–October and December–February, the lowest months. That is one of Monrovia's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 400 mm in August. March to May have too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mouse-brown Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Monrovia (20 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.
