Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Maroon Woodpecker sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 525 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 45th most-seen of the 247 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Maroon Woodpecker in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against about 10% in February and October, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Maroon Woodpecker sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 10 parks where we can rate Maroon Woodpecker sightings, Kinabalu Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Kerinci Seblat National Park (Indonesia, about 20%) and Taman Negara National Park (Malaysia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Maroon Woodpecker is recorded against all the birds logged in Kinabalu Park (525 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.
