Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Oriole sighting in Raja Ampat on a given day, based on 291 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 49th most-seen of the 200 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.
July
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Oriole in Raja Ampat on a given day, against about 10% in March–April and December, the lowest months. That is one of Raja Ampat's wettest months, with about 360 mm of rain against 180 mm in October.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown Oriole sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Raja Ampat, in our data
Raja Ampat is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Brown Oriole sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Oriole is recorded against all the birds logged in Raja Ampat (291 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.
