The Streaked Saltator is a large, striking songbird widespread across much of Central and South America. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, pale gray underparts with fine streaking, and a prominent white supercilium. This vocal bird is common in a variety of open and semi-open habitats.
Where to spot
Widespread from southern Mexico through Central America, and extensively across tropical South America east of the Andes, south to northern Argentina. Inhabits forest edges, clearings, second growth, gardens, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its large size, prominent supercilium, and streaky underparts (though streaks can be subtle). Listen for its loud, clear, musical song, which often includes repeated phrases. They are often found in pairs or small groups in the mid-story of vegetation.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season (varies regionally) and during early morning.
