With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-chested Tanager sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 104 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 56th 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.
July and October–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-chested Tanager in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in March–June and August–September, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rufous-chested Tanager 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 Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rufous-chested Tanager sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-chested Tanager is recorded against all the birds logged in Quito (104 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.
