The call of the Scarletshouldered tanager is described as a series of sharp, high-pitched notes. They are widespread within their range, which extends from southern Mexico through Central America to western Panama. The species is not considered to be endangered, and its population is believed to be stable. Local populations may be influenced by habitat availability and changes.
