The American Redstart is an abundant and widespread warbler in Canada, with a breeding range that reaches from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador. The Breeding Bird Survey indicates that the population is currently at about the same level it was in 1970. With over 80% of the global breeding population, Canada's responsibility for the species is very high. This species has been identified as a priority for conservation and/or stewardship in one or more Bird Conservation Region Strategies in Canada.
Human modification of wintering habitats has likely been partly responsible for observed decreases in the latter half of the twentieth century (Sherry and Holmes 1997). However, still abundant and widespread, and with a stable population trend, there are currently few pressing conservation concerns for the American Redstart in Canada.
Environment and Climate Change Canada and partners have developed Bird Conservation Region Strategies in each of Canada’s Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs). In these strategies, selected species are identified as priorities for one or more of the following reasons:
