Least Concern (LC): The species is found across a large geographic region of the state and is considered relatively abundant. Continued monitoring is necessary to track trends and declines.

Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN): The species has low and/or declining populations and needs conservation action. Though not currently rare, they are declining in abundance and usually experiencing threats to their habitats or other resources. All species listed as special concern, threatened, or endangered are also considered SGCN.

Special Concern (SC): Any species that does not meet the criteria for being endangered or threatened but that is particularly vulnerable. These species could become endangered, threatened, or extirpated in the foreseeable future due to restricted distribution, low or declining numbers, specialized habitat needs or limits, or other factors.

Threatened (T): The species is vulnerable to becoming endangered within the near future.

Endangered (E): The species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
