Birds around Lima

Lima, Lima Province, Peru

Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Lima (-15° to -10° latitude, -80° to -75° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all birds records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).

No arrivals expected here in the next six weeks, going by last year.
