Post-breeding density in mesquite woodlands: 126.0 individuals/km2 (T. Nakamura, unpubl.).
The juveniles formed only 10.14% of the total sarus sighted during the post-breeding period.
The importance of early successional habitats for breeding and post-breeding birds has received recent attention.
Most post-breeding individuals avoided edges, and instead heavily used the clearcut interiors.
There is some evidence to indicate that the species moves to higher elevations in the post-breeding season.
We used standardised mist-netting (totaling 1920 h) to sample birds in breeding and post-breeding periods.
The movements compensated for the displacement and were directed toward the post-breeding migration route normally followed by non-displaced birds.
They are semi-colonial breeders and might move to lower elevations in the post-breeding season, but seasonal movements are poorly known.
This tanager generally occurs in pairs for most of the year, although it forms small groups for brief periods post-breeding.
Adults undergo a complete post-breeding molt that begins in August, during which time pairs separate; there is no pre-breeding molt (Elliott, 1969; Curson, 2010).
In the Neotropics, this species is known solely from southern Brazil, where it has been recorded mainly in the austral spring, largely in the post-breeding season.
