Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Collared Trogon sighting in San José on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 346th most-seen of the 379 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Collared Trogon in San José on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Collared Trogon sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Collared Trogon sightings, San José ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Caracas (Venezuela, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Collared Trogon is recorded against all the birds logged in San José (7 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.
