Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-collared Chlorophonia sighting in Darién National Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 290th most-seen of the 397 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-collared Chlorophonia in Darién National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and June–February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-collared Chlorophonia sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Yellow-collared Chlorophonia sightings, Darién National Park has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Farallones de Cali National Natural Park (Colombia, under 5%).
Same family: Fringillidae
The closest relatives of the Yellow-collared Chlorophonia that you can see in Darién National Park (family Fringillidae, Finches, Euphonias, and Allies) are Fulvous-vented Euphonia (about 20%) and Orange-bellied Euphonia (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-collared Chlorophonia is recorded against all the birds logged in Darién National Park (15 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
