Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Raja Ampat Pitohui sighting in Raja Ampat on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 73rd most-seen of the 200 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Raja Ampat Pitohui 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 Raja Ampat Pitohui sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Raja Ampat Pitohui is recorded against all the birds logged in Raja Ampat (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.
