About 30% of wildlife watchers report a White-thighed Hornbill sighting in Odzala-Kokoua National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 21st most-seen of the 72 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-thighed Hornbill is recorded against all the birds logged in Odzala-Kokoua National Park (18 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.
