Threats to Non-breeding (TN-c) indicates vulnerability due to the effects of current and future extrinsic conditions that threaten the ability of North American breeding populations to survive over the non-breeding season. Unlike TB-c, evaluation of TN-c considers vulnerability throughout the non-breeding range of North American breeding populations. However, it is still a “continental” score, in that it refers to threats faced by North American populations. Evaluation of TN-c includes threats to habitat, as well as other factors affecting survival outside the breeding season. Migration season threats are included, but for landbirds, TN-c is almost exclusively based on the portion of the non-breeding season in which birds are relatively sedentary.
