Range Extent>2,500,000 square km (greater than 1,000,000 square miles)
Number of Occurrences> 300
Rank Reasons
Large range in North America; large population size; many subpopulations; no known major threats but apparently undergoing a slow decline.
Range Extent Comments
Breeding range extends from western and northern Alaska, Yukon, Mackenzie, northern Alberta, northern Saskatchewan, northern Manitoba, northern Ontario, central Quebec, and central Labrador south to northwestern Baja California, Nevada (locally), southeastern Arizona, southern New Mexico, and extreme western Texas, and, east of the Rockies, to southern Saskatchewan, southern Manitoba, northeastern North Dakota (probably), central Ontario, south-central Quebec, and southern Labrador (AOU 1998). Winter range extends from coastal British Columbia (rare) south coastally to coastal California, and from northern California, southern Nevada, central Arizona, southern New Mexico (rare), Texas( not Panhandle), central Oklahoma, central Arkansas, and across the southeastern United States to Virginia (casually northward) south to southern Baja California, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize (questionably), Yucatan Peninsula( rarely), and southern Florida, rarely to Bermuda and the Bahama Islands (AOU 1998)..
Occurrences Comments
This species is represented by a large number of occurrences (subpopulations).
Threat Impact Comments
No major threats are known. Grazing and logging practices that reduce understory thickets reduce habitat suitability for this species.
Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

Breeding habitat includes various open, shrubby deciduous and mixed woodlands, chaparral, riparian thickets, and aspen groves (especially in Rocky Mountains region) (AOU 1998). Specific vegetation composition varies widely depending on location. Habitats during migration and winter include various wooded habitat edges, especially those with dense undergrowth (AOU 1998). Nests are on the ground or in bushes, up to about 0.6 meters above ground (Harrison 1978).

Ecology

This species is not gregarious but will occasionally forage with other bird species.

Reproduction

Clutch size is 4-6 (usually 5) (Harrison 1978).
