An Uncertain Future... A Final Comment

What is the future of this flock and the work that's been done? No one can be sure, and perhaps as time goes on and individual flock members are lost, it will simply diminish in numbers. Without propagation, it will eventually, in our lifetime, become non-existent. Predation, poor habitat, food issues, power lines and drought have already claimed a figure that hits over 40% of the birds that were brought to Necedah for flight training and are gone. - Mark Chenoweth
