Tangara fastuosa (Lesson, 1831) ,

Seven-colored Tanager (IUCN and MMA: VU)

Silveira et al. (2003b) summarized the conservation status and distribution of this species. Here, we report 18 additional records across three states (Ta-

ing in association with Molothrus bonariensis . Nests of

Curaeus forbesi are parasitised by Molothrus bonariensis which may represent cause declines in anthropogenic landscapes with elevated cowbird densities ( Jaramillo & Burke, 1999; Fraga, 2011) but this behaviour has yet to be recorded in the PCE. The pre-Columbian habitat of Forbe’s Blackird in PCE is not known. Most of our records came from forest edges associated with sugar cane plantations, with many nests were found in mango trees, near houses. Autecological studies are needed to understand the ecology of this species in anthropogenic landscapes.

ble 2, Fig. 10). Of the endemic and threatened birds of the PCE, this tanager is among the most tolerant to habitat disturbance, occupying forest edges and orchards where breeding behaviour has been observed ( Fig. 3 , Silveira et al., 2003b). Capture for the illegal bird trade remains a threat, with individuals traded in illegal street markets around Recife, Pernambuco between June 2000 and June 2005, and between August 2010 and April 2011 ( Pereira & Brito, 2005; Regueira & Bernard, 2012).
