Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-shouldered Cuckoo-shrike sighting in Niokolo-Koba National Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 171st most-seen of the 215 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-shouldered Cuckoo-shrike in Niokolo-Koba National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–April, August–September and November–December, the lowest months. That is one of Niokolo-Koba National Park's driest months, with almost no rain against 300 mm in August. May–July and October have too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-shouldered Cuckoo-shrike is recorded against all the birds logged in Niokolo-Koba National Park (17 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.
