The species has an extensive range, estimated at 16,000,000 km 2 (6,200,000 sq mi), and a large population of about 370 million individuals. The western subspecies ( T. m. propinquus ) in central California is considered to be expanding its range, as is likely the case elsewhere in the United States. [ 10 ]

In the same work, he put the red-breasted meadowlark in the bunting genus Emberiza.
