The uniform crake (Amaurolimnas concolor) is a species of bird in the subfamily Rallinae of the rail, crake, and coot family Rallidae. It is found in Mexico, most of Central America, and in nine South American countries.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Uniform Crake sighting in Santos on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 125th most-seen of the 203 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.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Uniform Crake in Santos on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of Santos's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against 40 mm in August.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Uniform Crake sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Santos, in our data
Santos is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Uniform Crake sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Uniform Crake is recorded against all the birds logged in Santos (23 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.
