With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-breasted Fruiteater sighting in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 189th most-seen of the 358 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-breasted Fruiteater in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to November, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-breasted Fruiteater 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 Henri Pittier National Park, in our data
Henri Pittier National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Golden-breasted Fruiteater sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-breasted Fruiteater is recorded against all the birds logged in Henri Pittier National Park (39 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.
