Assessment rationale/justification
A widespread species whose population density varies regularly over 10-11 year cycles, following the cycles in abundance of its main prey, the snowshoe hare. Although numbers have declined in parts of its southern range, notably in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, overall the Canadian population is secure.; Une espèce répandue dont la densité des populations varie régulièrement au cours de cycles de 10 à  11 ans, suivant les cycles d'abondance de sa principale proie, le lièvre d'Amérique. Même si le nombre d'individus a connu un déclin dans des parties de son aire de répartition méridionale, particulièrement au Nouveau-Brunswick et en Nouvelle-Écosse, la population canadienne dans son ensemble n'est pas en péril.
