Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Stauffer's Tree Frog sighting in Santa Rosa National Park on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 14 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and July
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Stauffer's Tree Frog in Santa Rosa National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August, the lowest month. Those are among Santa Rosa National Park's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 450 mm in October.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stauffer's Tree Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Stauffer's Tree Frog sightings, Santa Rosa National Park ranks 2nd at about 40%. The best odds are in Palo Verde National Park (Costa Rica, about 50%). All parks ranked.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stauffer's Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Santa Rosa National Park (31 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.
