Yes, gdgz, there's a conclusion here. Whenever you see method of reasoning questions, you'll see an argument with a conclusion. We want to make sure that we know what that conclusion is prior to jumping into the answer choices because if you cannot find that, you are unlikely to adequately understand the stimulus.
In this case, the argument presented is the argument of the ornithologists. We know that is the argument we need to focus on both because of the structure of the stimulus as well as the question stem! The question stem here points us to the ornithologists' argument. So, what is their conclusion? They conclude that the songbirds are still threatened. That's it. That's the conclusion you need to find here.
Hope that helps!
