Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Short-billed Minivet sighting in Kaziranga National Park on a given day, based on 33 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 226th most-seen of the 323 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Short-billed Minivet in Kaziranga National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season. June and July have too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Short-billed Minivet is recorded against all the birds logged in Kaziranga National Park (33 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.
