Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 9.2 million mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).
Trend justification: The species has been undergoing a very slow increase since 1970 (Partners in Flight 2019; Rosenberg et al. 2019). Short-term trends however suggest that the species is currently stable (Pardieck et al. 2018).
