Birds around Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Rio de Janeiro (-25° to -20° latitude, -45° to -40° 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).
