Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Tapaculo sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 106th most-seen of the 110 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 White-throated Tapaculo in Santiago on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Santiago, in our data
Santiago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-throated Tapaculo sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-throated Tapaculo is recorded against all the birds logged in Santiago (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.
