Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spot-winged Grosbeak sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 359th most-seen of the 367 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 Spot-winged Grosbeak in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spot-winged Grosbeak sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Spot-winged Grosbeak sightings, Doi Inthanon National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Langtang National Park (Nepal, under 5%) and Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spot-winged Grosbeak is recorded against all the birds logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (6 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.
