Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Sulawesi Babbler sighting in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 310 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 31st most-seen of the 138 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, 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 Sulawesi Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Tangkoko Nature Reserve (310 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.
