Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ferruginous Flycatcher sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 151st most-seen of the 247 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ferruginous Flycatcher in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ferruginous Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Ferruginous Flycatcher sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taroko National Park (Taiwan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ferruginous Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Kinabalu Park (37 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.
