The account

Description

22 cm. Heavy coral red bill. Male bluish gray with black mask and throat. Female olive black.

The disc records this picture against the bird without a caption. Disc 3 · 2006

Where it was recorded

The discs' own checklists select Black-throated Grosbeak at 18 localities.

Historical checklist localities on the disc's own area map — the red dots the original program drew, placed by its recovered projection. Not a range map: it shows the places whose checklists record the bird, nothing more. 1 has no usable coordinate and is listed below unplotted.

How the map was made

The original program computed each red dot at display time from the locality's coordinates, using its map library and one of five base maps drawn for the screen widths of the day. That library's projection — an oblique rotation of the sphere about the map's own centre, 23.7°S 47.4°W — was read from the program and checked against the graticule the same program drew into the base maps: it reproduces every grid intersection to within about a pixel. The dots here use that projection on the 1280-pixel base map, with the coordinates the discs record. Nothing was placed by hand, no modern map data was used, and a place whose coordinate is incomplete, out of range or beyond the map's edge is listed rather than guessed.

The discs carried location maps only; none shows a distribution or range.

Voice

Calls 'pseet' (vocalization # 6), a grating 'ziu' (vocalization # 4). Song a slow sequence of flute-like notes 'tju tu tu tu-u' (vocalizations 1, 2, 3 and 5).

Behavior

Forages in subcanopy and canopy of forest trees. Singly or in pairs.

Habitat and status

Fairly common in dense humid primary and secondary rain forest, does usually not venture into semi-open areas, parks or forest borders. Inland in drier forests. Can be found in some forest remnants (⁴⁸).

Distribution

Throughout, a typical species of the coastal rainforest belt. Found at Ubatuba, Picinguaba,Fazenda Intervales, PE Jacupiranga, Bertioga, PE Carlos Botelho, Bananal, Pariquera Acu, Sete Barras, Boraceia, and also inland, Vassununga, Manduri, Aracacu, Santana, Barreiro Rico, Itirapua (¹¹⁹). To 1200 meters

Across the three discs

The work was published on three discs — Disc 2 in 2001, Disc 3 in 2006 and Disc 1 in 2011. Where they differ, that is a difference between historical releases, and it is never merged away. The 2011 disc is not treated as correcting the earlier ones.

Which discs list this bird

How that was established

Disc 2 · 2001: aux_nonzero;local_checklist_byte45_flag_1
Disc 3 · 2006: aux_nonzero;local_checklist_byte45_flag_1
Disc 1 · 2011: aux_nonzero;local_checklist_byte45_flag_1

The disc's own record fields that place the bird on its list: a non-empty entry in the species table, and the byte that marks it as selected on a local checklist.
