Population justification: The global population is inferred to number 2,000,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).

Trend justification: The species has been undergoing a large, significant increase (Partners in Flight 2019). Short-term trends suggest that the population in North America has been roughly stable over the past three generations (11 years) (Pardieck et al. 2018).
