Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Greater Wagtail-Tyrant sighting in El Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 44 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 94th most-seen of the 219 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July, September and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Greater Wagtail-Tyrant in El Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February–June and October, the lowest months. December has too few records to rate.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Greater Wagtail-Tyrant sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only El Impenetrable National Park, in our data
El Impenetrable National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Greater Wagtail-Tyrant sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tyrannidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Greater Wagtail-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in El Impenetrable National Park (44 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.
