July 15th Update

Hello Everyone,
Its July 14th and I just got back from the Texas Center Convention and had a Great time. When I returned home I opened all the doors and let the birds together, and let them all out, for the 1st time since their 9th and 10th were pulled. We have NO problems with Health at all. We will Start training Aug. 15th . I would like to Congratulate all the winners at the Convention and thank Phoenix for doing such a great job! I would also like to Thank all the people who donated birds and thank the people who put an ad in the Directory! A big thanks to Dan Milner and Dianna McKinsey for once again doing a Great job with the designing and printing the yearbook!

All Systems are go! - talk to you soon, Darrell

July 2nd Update

Hello All,
All birds are doing Great and very healthy , I have pulled the 9th and 10th flights and they are locked down till the 9th and 10th are done. They were flying anywhere from 1hr to 2 hrs. depending on the temp. Its been very very windy and HOT and Dry here lately. When the flights are back they will have open loft for about 2 weeks weather permitting , then they will start on short tosses.

Now that all the birds are in I will send a brief update weekly.

After we start letting them out again, we will start printing out a trapping sheet instead of this inventory so you can see your birds on the sheet.

Thanks again for entering the race - Darrell
