Population justification: The most recent population estimate was 850-1,000 mature individuals (P. R. Reillo in litt. 2012), roughly equivalent to 1,200-1,500 individuals in total. The population declined sharply following the devastating hurricane Maria in September 2017, but since then individuals are frequently sighted island-wide (P. R. Reillo and S. Durand in litt. 2019). Ongoing surveys post-Maria aim to quantify the distribution and abundance (Reillo 2019).

Trend justification: Numbers have risen from possibly as few as 150 birds in 1980, to possibly as many as 1,200 prior to hurricane Maria, based upon recent surveys and density estimates (Reillo and Durand 2008, P. R. Reillo in litt. 2016). There are no new data on population trends, but the species was presumed to be increasing prior to hurricane Maria in September 2017. The species is now again commonly sighted across its pre-Maria range and in agricultural plantations. (P. R. Reillo and S. Durand in litt. 2019). Begging calls from nestlings were heard in 2019, indicating that birds have successfully reproduced post-Maria (P. R. Reillo and S. Durand in litt. 2019).
