Sadly it's no surprise that Baer's Pochard are critically endangered.  However, it was a real shock to me to see Black Scoter uplisted to near threated and Long-tailed Duck to vunerable. Two birds which I always considered common to abundant in North America in appropriate habitat. Seems that they fall under the "at least a 30% decline over ten years or three generations, whichever is longer" criteria.

As far as I can see from the website this refers to the American Black Scoter and not the European Common Scoter.
