used as a regular Landing Call), Then I looked up to find an apparently successful copulation attempt taking place !!! Almost too fast for me to follow, but I am fairly certain that there was no [[underlined]] immediate [[\underlined]] pre-cop display, nor anything in the way of a part-cop display (the 2 birds flew off immediately). The cop. itself was quite silent, without ritualized postures. The only thing that was significant was the fact that [[underlined]] the ♀ held M.M. in her bill throughout the whole performance [[\underlined]] !!!

Watching a few birds rather casually here.
I can confirm that the WS's of the Streaked Saltators here are essentially similar to those of birds near Frijoles.
One of the birds here, however, often gives an abbreviated 3-syllable, presumably low intensity version of a WS. like this [[image-line; slightly lower line; long line which slightly slopes upwards]]
more or less. This is exactly similar to the brief WS's which my captive Streaked Saltator gives -
the only WS's it has ever given in captivity, in fact.
It is this tri-syllabic WS which is so reminiscent of the "cho-ub-boh" of the Rose-breasted Thrush Tanager.
I noticed that the pair of Streaked Saltators nearest to me always gave a little series of "chuck" notes [[image- a series of six lines each slightly shorter and lower than its predecessor]]
Whenever one bird came in to land beside another, or when the 2 birds landed together, Definitely a landing and/or greeting call. Quite reminiscent of the "HAC" notes of the green-backed sparrows
