Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 160,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).
Trend justification: This species has been increasing over the last 50 years in North America (Partners in Flight 2019). Short-term trends suggest that the population has increased by 65% over the past ten years (Pardieck et al. 2018).
