Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Correndera Pipit sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 49 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 72nd most-seen of the 110 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 Correndera Pipit in Santiago 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 Correndera Pipit 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 Santiago, in our data
Santiago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Correndera Pipit sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the Correndera Pipit that you can see in Santiago (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are Austral Thrush (over 90%), Rufous-collared Sparrow (about 90%) and Southern House Wren (about 90%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Correndera Pipit is recorded against all the birds logged in Santiago (49 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.
