Sunday Morning Loft Fly

Clock Used for Inventory

 

Release Time:  07:20

 

All Birds Accounted For

Loft flying is really becoming an adventure with so many mature and/or mated pairs of birds in the loft.  Sunday morning was the last time the birds will be let out of the loft before Race #2 on Tuesday so turned on the Clock and One Loft Software just to make sure all of the birds were accounted for and a hawk didn't pick any off.  As you will see they were all accounted for but a couple of them literally took all day to get back in the loft.

There are several cocks and a few mated pairs that are really difficult to get back in the loft.  They only trap if they are tired and on a 70 degree day with just loft flying they are definitely not going to get tired.  The cocks are up and down all morning clapping their wings and chasing each other around.  One mated pair in particular now likes to stay out all day and loiter everywhere around the property except the loft.  A lot of times over the years with our own birds, the birds that act independent like this tend to be good pigeons.  As is usually the case, on long training tosses and race day the birds go right in, but loft flying and short training tosses can be a real hassle when the sexes are mixed.

Everything is still on schedule for a Tuesday morning release for Race 2 from Valmy which is 241 Miles.  The birds look really good and the weather looks pretty good for Tuesday so it should be a good race.  We are in a cycle right now where the good weather is in the middle of the week and the weekends have had terrible weather.  The combine races have been extremely tough with high losses this year as a result.  Hopefully the cycle shifts in the coming week or two because we need to get some decent weather on Sunday's for the final two races.
