Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-backed Woodswallow sighting in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 89th 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.
January–February, July, September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-backed Woodswallow in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in March–June, August, October and December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-backed Woodswallow 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 White-backed Woodswallow sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-backed Woodswallow is recorded against all the birds logged in Tangkoko Nature Reserve (43 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.
