Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Collared Trogon sighting in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 4,062 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 34th most-seen of the 412 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Collared Trogon in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, against about 20% in August and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Collared Trogon 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 39
Of the 39 parks where we can rate Collared Trogon sightings, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in El Triunfo (Mexico, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Collared Trogon is recorded against all the birds logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (4,062 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.
