Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-tufted Grebe sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 33 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 76th 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-tufted Grebe in Santiago on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-tufted Grebe sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-tufted Grebe is recorded against all the birds logged in Santiago (33 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.
