Justification of Red List category
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km² combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is very large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Population justification
The global population is estimated at over 500,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019) and stable or increasing (Partners in Flight 2020, Wetlands International 2020).

Trend justification
The population is considered to be increasing. In North America, from 1966 to 2017 the species has increased on average by 10% over three generations (Partners in Flight 2019). Populations elsewhere within the range are suspected to be stable (Wetlands International 2020).
