An abundant and widespread species, the American Tree Sparrow breeds in shrubby habitats at and beyond the treeline. Continental results from the Christmas Bird Count suggest little overall change in the population since 1970. This species has been identified as a priority for conservation and/or stewardship in one or more Bird Conservation Region Strategies in Canada.
This species is abundant and widespread, mostly breeds north of the tree line in remote, and mostly undeveloped areas, and there are no known immediate conservation concerns (Naugler 1993). The American Tree Sparrow uses and may benefit from winter bird feeders, although this may also make them susceptible to predation by domestic cats (Naugler 1993; see also Blancher 2013).
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:
