Breeding populations of Orchard Oriole in Canada are peripheral to the North American range reaching Canada only in the southernmost edge of Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Results of the Breeding Bird Survey suggest this species has shown a large increase in population since about 1970.
Although the Orchard Oriole has shown decreases in parts of its range in the United States, it appears to be increasing in abundance and expanding its range in Canada. Threats to this species appear to be few in Canada but future expansions may be limited by the general decline of orchards and hedgerows, pesticide use and closing of forest canopies as woodlands mature (Woodliffe 2007, Scharf and Kren 2010).
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:
