Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996). The species is common and not threatened. However, its range is somewhat reduced, and agricultural development presents a potential future threat. Mammalian predators and rattlesnakes are also believed to take fair numbers (del Hoyo et al. 1992).
