With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Band-tailed Seedeater sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 119 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 51st most-seen of the 167 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Band-tailed Seedeater in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and October, the lowest months. That is one of Quito's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against 25 mm in August.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Band-tailed Seedeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Quito (119 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.
