Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common to abundant (del Hoyo et al. 1997).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to predation by the introduced Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) (del Hoyo et al. 1997).
