COSEWIC
Assessment Summary
Assessment Summary – April 2006
Common name::
Red-shouldered Hawk
Scientific name:
Buteo Lineatus
Status:
Not at risk
Reason for designation:
In Canada, this forest-nesting species has been stable or increasing, depending on the region, over the last 10 to 20 years. The main threat to the species is habitat loss and degradation, which is likely to be most serious in the southern parts of its Canadian range. Populations are stable or increasing in most parts of the United States, so there is also a potential outside source for rescue.
Occurrence:
Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick
Status history:
Designated Special Concern in April 1983. Status re-examined and confirmed in April 1996. Status re-examined and designated Not at Risk in April 2006. Last assessment based on an update status report.
