Photo of a Buff-throated Saltator made by Carl Beel made in December 2009 in Suriname and a second one by J.S. Dunning, made in Colombia. Otte Ottema made a recording of the sweet whistling song of a Buff-throated saltator in the Bakhuis area in April 2006. It eats mainly fruit and flowers and is easier heard than seen. The Buff-throated Saltator is found in forests and on the savanna, whereas its cousin the Grayish Saltator is found in the coastal area.
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
