Wildlife managers intervened by implementing protective regulations that allowed the canvasback population to begin a slow recovery from the brink of extinction, and hunters expressed regret and hope for further growth in their numbers.

- 5. Thanks to wildlife management workers they put rules in place to protect you from losing all of you Canvasbacks.
- 6. Today you are still rare but making a slow comeback.
- 7. HOPE YOU ACCEPT OUR APOLOGY. We think you are a beautiful bird and hope your population grows to how many there were before we shot you like rain falling from the sky.
