Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler sighting in Jim Corbett National Park on a given day, based on 537 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 77th most-seen of the 368 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.
November to January
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler in Jim Corbett National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and June–September, the lowest months. Those are among Jim Corbett National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 360 mm in July.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey-hooded Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Grey-hooded Warbler sightings, Jim Corbett National Park ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Langtang National Park (Nepal, about 40%) and Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 30%).
Same genus: Phylloscopus
The closest relatives of the Grey-hooded Warbler that you can see in Jim Corbett National Park (genus Phylloscopus, Leaf Warblers) are Hume's Warbler (about 20%), Greenish Warbler (about 10%) and Pale-rumped Warbler (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey-hooded Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Jim Corbett National Park (537 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.
