Canada

Origin: Native

Regularity: Regularly occurring

Currently: Present

Confidence: Confident

Type of Residency: Year-round

Global Range: (250-20,000 square km (about 100-8000 square miles)) Endemic to Queen Charlotte Islands.

Comments: Riparian forest.

Non-Migrant: No. All populations of this species make significant seasonal migrations.

Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).

Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.

Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.

Estimated Number of Occurrences: 21 - 80

Comments: Sparsely distributed in riparian forests.

Unknown

Comments: Population size unknown but small relative to Red-breasted Sapsuckers.

Canada

Rounded National Status Rank: N3 - Vulnerable

Rounded Global Status Rank: T3 - Vulnerable

Reasons: Endemic to Queen Charlotte Islands. Sparsely distributed in restricted and threatened habitat.

Global Short Term Trend: Decline of 10-30%

Comments: Data are lacking but may be declining.

Degree of Threat: A : Very threatened throughout its range communities directly exploited or their composition and structure irreversibly threatened by man-made forces, including exotic species

Comments: Threatened by habitat loss through forest harvesting.

Biological Research Needs: Determine habitat use.

Global Protection: Few to several (1-12) occurrences appropriately protected and managed

Needs: Protect riparian forest strips.
