Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan sighting in Los Nevados National Natural Park on a given day, based on 153 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 209th most-seen of the 424 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and March–April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan in Los Nevados National Natural Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and May–December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan 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 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan sightings, Los Nevados National Natural Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Podocarpus National Park (Ecuador, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan is recorded against all the birds logged in Los Nevados National Natural Park (153 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.
