When it is recorded

JFMAMJJASOND

Peak month: August. Records cluster in the months an animal is present and being looked for, so a summer peak can reflect observer effort as much as the animal.

Records over time

18292023

Recording effort has risen steeply almost everywhere since the 1990s, so a rising line usually shows more observers rather than more animals.

Status from the records: seasonal
Recorded repeatedly but only in part of the year — likely seasonal or migratory. This is inferred from how many years and months the animal appears in, not from a range map — treat it as evidence, not a formal assessment.
