Abstract The migratory patterns of many Neotropical bird species remain largely unknown. Numerous logistic challenges prevent such studies, from research costs, often prohibitively expensive to institutions, equipment weight limitations. Therefore, it is paramount explore new possibilities in the field as abundant records citizen science platforms. In this study, we investigated spatial and temporal scarlet flycatcher Pyrocephalus rubinus using two platforms: eBird WikiAves, which provided 40,837 species. Our findings indicated that flycatchers arrive at wintering grounds central-western Brazil, central-eastern Bolivia, eastern Peru around May June. We also found breeding central Argentina, southern Uruguay between August October, where stays months thereafter (November, December, January). year-round northern Argentina Paraguay deserve further studies. Understanding imperative for predicting population dynamics climate influence on biology these face a rapidly changing world.
