Management plan for the band-tailed pigeon (Patagioenas fasciata) in Canada. : En3-5/103-2019E-PDF

"The Band-tailed Pigeon (Patagioenas fasciata) is similar to the familiar Rock Pigeon (Columba livia), but it has a faster, more direct flight, a white crescent on the back of the head, and a dark tail with a grey terminal band. The species is listed as Special Concern under Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act. The Canadian breeding range is restricted to southern British Columbia, mainly on southern Vancouver Island and along the mainland coast. The Canadian population is estimated very roughly at 43,000-170,000 individuals, which is about 5% of the global population. At the time of the last COSEWIC status report in 2008, its population may have declined by 11.2% over the preceding three generations. However, more recent data suggest that numbers may be stabilizing, particularly for the entire Pacific Flyway where the aggregated data are more robust. Primary threats to the Band-tailed Pigeon include forestry practices, urban and industrial development, and climate change. The management objective for the Band-tailed Pigeon is to maintain the Canadian population at its current population size and distribution. The broad strategies and conservation measures required to achieve the management objective are presented in Section 6. Conservation measures in this management plan fall under three broad strategies: population monitoring and surveys, habitat conservation and stewardship, and research"--Executive Summary, page ii.
