Topic: Orinocan Saltator


  
  Maintenance Energy Costs of Two Partially Folivorous Tropical Passerines
We measured oxygen consumption (902) of six Grayish Saltators and four Orinocan Saltators in re- lation to ambient temperature (Ta) during the non- active phase with an open-flow Applied Electro- chemistry model S-3A analyzer as described in Weathers et al.
The de- crease in T b between 34 and 13øC T a that we estimat- ed from the regression equations was 1.9øC in the Grayish Saltator (from 39.5 to 37.6øC) and 4.1øC in the Orinocan Saltator (from 39.1 to 35.0øC).
However, the fact that saltators spend 77 to 80% of their time sitting, singing, and preening suggests that, under such a relaxed time budget, it is unlikely that they would be forced to forage or to spend con- siderable portions of time exposed to unfavorable ra- diative environments.

 Saltator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saltator is a genus of birds in the cardinal family Cardinalidae.
The name "saltator'"is the English name for the group, and the English names of all except two species end in "Saltator".
Vieillot applied it to this genus because of the heavy way the birds hop on the ground (Jobling and Fowling, 1992).

 RedOrbit NEWS | Environmental Correlates of Song Structure in Forest Grosbeaks and Saltators   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
We compared the song structure of 19 species of forest grosbeaks and saltators based on the songs of 271 individuals recorded from Argentina to Canada, and analyzed their ecological correlates.
However, in the case of saltators and forest grosbeaks, the patterns of variation found are consistent with the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis.
In conclusion, we found a clear pattern of association between the structure of the songs of forest grosbeaks and saltators and the habitat in which each species lives, and the kind of association found was consistent with predictions derived from the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis.

 Classification of birds of South America Part 11
Saltator nigriceps was formerly (e.g., Hellmayr 1938, Paynter 1970c, Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990) considered conspecific with S.
They are parapatric allotaxa that are presumably sister species and form a superspecies (Sibley and Monroe 1990); evidence for treating them as separate species, as in most current classifications, is weak (Ridgely and Tudor 1989); they evidently differ in vocalizations (Ridgely and Greenfield 2001).
Saltator striatipectus was formerly (e.g., Hellmayr 1938, Meyer de Schauensee 1970, Paynter 1970c) considered conspecific with S.

 RedOrbit - Science - Environmental Correlates of Song Structure in Forest Grosbeaks and Saltators   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Here, we describe the song structure of saltators and forest grosbeaks in relation to their habitats.
Songs of Saltator species of open and relatively dry habitats (S. atricollis, S. aurantiirostris, and S. orenocensls) had broader bandwidths and higher maximum frequencies than those of species of the group living in more closed habitats (S. atripennis, S. fuliginosus, S. grossus, S. similis, and Periporphyrus erythromelas).
This species lives in mixed habitats and uses a relatively narrow-band song for long-range communication, but also has a wide-band duet song that is used when in close contact with the female.

Darwin, with the help of a local taxi driver, found the Hotel Varyna in Barinas and we were soon off to our first Andean birding of the trip.
Spot lighting near a rural house can bring on strange things but the attack albino turkey in full display inching closer in the early morning was completely unexpected though comical.
A STREAKED SALTATOR was a new bird for the trip.

Our first Orinoco Goose was spotted in the mist, and in the low scrub we had Riverside Tyrant.
We started with a walk in the riverine forest along a dike where we had Orinoco Saltator.
Afterwards, a boat took us into the vast system of lakes with beds of water hya\-cinths with bluish flowers, where fishing herons and resting raptors were seen at close range.

We’ll search xerophytic vegetation for some species that are shared only with the neighbouring sector of Venezuela.
Orinocan Saltator, Caribbean Hornero, Bare-eyed Pigeon, Green-rumped Parrotlet, Scaled Dove and Brown-throated Parakeet fall into this category.
The cactus-rich scrub further on is the best place to see a couple of Guajira’s special birds: Vermilion Cardinal and Chestnut Piculet.

 TRIP REPORT/UPDATE
Similarly, if the guide isn’t available you can still get them to take you to a good locale, such as the Caicare gallery forest and the road along its edge.
We found a number of good birds there with minimal help from the guides, including Amazon Black Tyrant, Orinocan Saltator, Trinidad Euphonia, Chestnut-fronted Macaw, and many others.
Most, if not all, of the driver/guides can locate many of the birds (especially the larger localized species such as Capped Heron) you especially will want to see and may not find without the assistance of a guide.
