State Ranks
| S1 |
= |
Extremely rare. Typically 5 or fewer estimated occurrences in the state, or only a few remaining individuals, may be especially vulnerable to extirpation. |
| S2 |
= |
Very rare. Typically between 5 and 20 estimated occurrences or with many individuals in fewer occurrences, often susceptible to becoming extirpated. |
| S3 |
= |
Rare to uncommon. Typically between 20 and 100 estimated occurrences, may have fewer occurrences but with large number of individuals in some populations, may be susceptible to large-scale disturbances. |
| S4 |
= |
Common, apparently secure under present conditions. Typically 100 or more estimated occurrences, but may be fewer with many large populations, may be restricted to only a portion of the state, usually not susceptible to immediate threats. |
| S5 |
= |
Demonstrably widespread, common, and secure in the state and essentially ineradicable under present conditions. |
| SA |
= |
Accidental. |
| SH |
= |
Historically known from the state, but not verified for an extended period, usually 15 years. |
| SU |
= |
Possibly in peril in the state, but status uncertain, more information is needed. |
| SX |
= |
Apparently extirpated from state. |
| SZ |
= |
Zero occurrences. Not of practical conservation concern in the state because there are no definable occurrences, although the taxa is native and appears regularly in the state. |
General Ranking Notes |
| Q |
= |
A "Q" in the global rank indicates the element's taxonomic classification as a species is a matter of conjecture among scientists. |
| RANGES |
= |
Ranges are used temporarily until a final rank decision can be made. |
| ? |
= |
A question mark is used temporarily when there is some indecision regarding the rank assignment or when an element has not been ranked. |
| B |
= |
Breeding status |
| N |
= |
Non-breeding status |
