Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hutton's Vireo sighting in Sacramento on a given day, based on 309 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 131st most-seen of the 235 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises 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 Hutton's Vireo in Sacramento on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hutton's Vireo sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
9th of 16
Of the 16 cities where we can rate Hutton's Vireo sightings, Sacramento ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Toluca (México, about 10%), Los Angeles (United States, about 10%) and San Francisco (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hutton's Vireo is recorded against all the birds logged in Sacramento (309 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.
