Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 13,000,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).
Trend justification: This species is increasing rapidly (Partners in Flight 2019; Rosenberg et al. 2019). Short-term trends suggest a rate of increase of 50% over the past ten years in North America (Pardieck et al. 2018).
