Population justification: Partners in Flight estimate the global population to number 6.8 million mature individuals (A. Panjabi in litt. 2017).
Trend justification: This species has undergone a large and statistically significant increase over the last 50 years in North America (>1000% increase based on the North American Breeding Bird Survey [Sauer et al. 2017] and Partners in Flight [A. Panjabi in litt. 2017]). Short-term trends show an increase of 721% over the last three generations (Sauer et al. 2017). Note, however, that these surveys covered less than 50% of the global range.
