Population justification: The population is estimated to number 170-200 pairs, or 340-400 mature individuals and the species is apparently common throughout all of the island and around the naval garrison. According to recent data (Ortiz-Alcaraz et al. 2018), density estimates are 3.2 individuals/ha in the wet season and 6.55 individuals/ha in the dry season. Further population studies are needed.

Trend justification: There are recent counts but no new data on population trends. The introduced mammal that remains on ClariĆ³n is the European Rabbit and no evidence of negative impacts exists, aside from greatly slowing vegetation regrowth after a significant fire in the 1980s. Therefore, the population is currently suspected to be stable, although this warrants further investigation.
