Birds around Quito
Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Quito (-5° to 0° 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).
