Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Temminck's Seedeater sighting in Itatiaia National Park on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 226th most-seen of the 352 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.
September and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Temminck's Seedeater in Itatiaia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Temminck's Seedeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Itatiaia National Park (46 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.
