Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sulawesi Honey-buzzard sighting in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 111th most-seen of the 138 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sulawesi Honey-buzzard in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sulawesi Honey-buzzard 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 Tangkoko Nature Reserve, in our data
Tangkoko Nature Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sulawesi Honey-buzzard sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sulawesi Honey-buzzard is recorded against all the birds logged in Tangkoko Nature Reserve (14 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.
