With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sulawesi Woodpecker sighting in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 88th most-seen of the 138 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, July and November–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sulawesi Woodpecker in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–June and August–October, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sulawesi Woodpecker 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 Woodpecker sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sulawesi Woodpecker is recorded against all the birds logged in Tangkoko Nature Reserve (46 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.
