Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Scimitar-Babbler sighting in Kaeng Krachan National Park on a given day, based on 1,019 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 60th most-seen of the 360 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–April, June and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Scimitar-Babbler in Kaeng Krachan National Park on a given day, against about 10% in May, July and October, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-browed Scimitar-Babbler sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 10
Of the 10 parks where we can rate White-browed Scimitar-Babbler sightings, Kaeng Krachan National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-browed Scimitar-Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Kaeng Krachan National Park (1,019 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.
