Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 64 million mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).
Trend justification: The species is increasing slowly (Partners in Flight 2019; Rosenberg et al. 2019). Short-term trends suggest that the population increased by 7% over the past ten years (Pardieck et al. 2018).
