Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Amazonian Antpitta sighting in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, based on 77 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 331st most-seen of the 550 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amazonian Antpitta in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and June–November, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amazonian Antpitta sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Amazonian Antpitta sightings, Tambopata National Reserve ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Manu National Park (Peru, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amazonian Antpitta is recorded against all the birds logged in Tambopata National Reserve (77 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.
