Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Earthcreeper sighting in Lauca National Park on a given day, based on 169 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 52nd most-seen of the 112 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.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-throated Earthcreeper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Lauca National Park, in our data
Lauca National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-throated Earthcreeper sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-throated Earthcreeper is recorded against all the birds logged in Lauca National Park (169 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.
