Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Hutton's Vireo sighting in Reserva de la Biosfera Mariposa Monarca on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 41st most-seen of the 103 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Hutton's Vireo in Reserva de la Biosfera Mariposa Monarca on a given day, against about 10% in May and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of Reserva de la Biosfera Mariposa Monarca's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 270 mm in July. April and June–September have too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hutton's Vireo sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 11 parks where we can rate Hutton's Vireo sightings, Reserva de la Biosfera Mariposa Monarca ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park (Mexico, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hutton's Vireo is recorded against all the birds logged in Reserva de la Biosfera Mariposa Monarca (31 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.
