Population justification: The global population was estimated to number 235,000 individuals in 1993 (del Hoyo et al. 1996).
Trend justification: The overall trend is likely to be stable. In North America, this species has undergone a small or statistically insignificant increase over the last 40 years (data from Breeding Bird Survey and/or Christmas Bird Count: Butcher and Niven 2007). Note, however, that these surveys cover less than 50% of the species's range in North America.
