Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Páramo Seedeater sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 130th most-seen of the 167 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Páramo Seedeater in Quito on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Páramo Seedeater sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Páramo Seedeater sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Catamenia
The closest relatives of the Páramo Seedeater that you can see in Quito (genus Catamenia, Highland Seedeaters) are Band-tailed Seedeater (about 10%) and Plain-colored Seedeater (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Páramo Seedeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Quito (14 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.
