Population justification: O'Donnell and Fjeldsa (1997) estimated the population to number 3,000-5,000 individuals. The minimum population size, based on simultaneous winter counts during 2010-2011, is 759 (Roesler et al. 2011b). Following recent and rapid declines, and new surveys, the latest estimate is 1,000-1,200 individuals, roughly equivalent to 660-800 mature individuals, borne out by the comprehensive 2013 survey's total of 691 adults and 144 chicks (Casañas et al. 2013) and the 2014-2015 survey total of 771 adults and 138 chicks (Roesler et al. 2015).
Trend justification: Censuses on the wintering grounds indicated that the population may have declined by as much as 40% since the late 1990s. Assuming an exponential rate of decline this equates to an extremely rapid population decline of over 80 % over 21 years (three generations). This trend is also supported by recent surveys of the breeding grounds. During the winter counts of 2010 and 2011 no juvenile Hooded Grebes were observed (Roesler et al. 2011b).
