Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-breasted Antpitta sighting in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 384th most-seen of the 412 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-breasted Antpitta in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ochre-breasted Antpitta 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 3 parks where we can rate Ochre-breasted Antpitta sightings, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tapantí-Macizo de la Muerte National Park (Costa Rica, under 5%) and Arenal Volcano National Park (Costa Rica, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ochre-breasted Antpitta is recorded against all the birds logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (7 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.
