With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Copan Stream Frog sighting in Lago de Yojoa on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 8 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Copan Stream Frog in Lago de Yojoa on a given day, against under 5% in February–April, August and October–November, the lowest months. Those are among Lago de Yojoa's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain a month against 65 mm in April.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Copan Stream Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Copan Stream Frog sightings, Lago de Yojoa ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Cusuco National Park (Honduras, about 20%) and Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park (Honduras, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Copan Stream Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Lago de Yojoa (9 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.
