Good Morning,

                 I took the birds out 65 miles today. they came great, but we had scanning issues with the clock today. We will work to get this resolved ASAP.

                             This  Saturday the birds will be going for a short 110 mile tune-up race before our main event in 10 days. This race will still count towards average speed. I will keep you all in the loop with the clock issues.

                             Thanks,

                                       Bob

Good Morning,

                        I had to hold the birds until 7:50 A.m. because of what the hauler called haze. They circled twice and headed home. We had clear sky's ,16 degrees, and light NE winds. Best of luck to everyone today.

Good Afternoon,

                         Tonight we will ship our 300 mile race from Bear Valley, Utah.

This will be our second time going over the Grand Canyon. I can only hope the results are as good as the first time. This is a true 300 miles for the birds. This is the the first race that will pay out. 15 percent of the entry fees will be paid out to the first 5 birds in the trap.

                 1st   $ 937.12          This is the only race to pay by trap order.

                 2nd  $ 669.38

                 3rd  $  535.50

                 4th  $  401.62

                 5th  $  133.88

Good Morning,

                     The birds came very well yesterday flying around 54 mph. 35 birds came on one drop. They hit the board all at once. Some were literally on each others backs going into the loft. Then the rest came after a break in the clocking. Some over shot and had to come back. All in all it was a great warm up for next weeks 300 mile race from Bear Valley,Utah. 

                                            Thanks again for your support,

Good Morning All,

                  Our birds were just released at 7:15 AM from the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Clear sky's , 29 degrees, and a 5 mile per hour wind from the North East. I expect a fairly quick race but one never knows. Good Luck to all.

Good Morning All,

                      Yesterday was  a very good test for our birds. From what I have learned California was hit with a 4.5 magnitude earth quake on Friday, and then multiple after shocks all day on Saturday. This always seems to effect the birds.If this wasn't enough they also hit head winds a lot of the way home.

                     Some birds seemed like they wern't bothered to much and others had a real problem. We are missing a few birds this morning but I feel most of them will be home. They are very well trained and are in amazing condition.

                    We had 2 birds clock on the first drop a few minutes ahead of the next group of 4. Good job Linda DeVries and the Boyse boys,1st & 2nd !

                                  Thanks to All,

                                                           Bob

Good Morning,

                         The birds are up and on their way home. Release was changed to 7:10 AM. The liberator said they went very high and then took off to the south. We had blue sky's with some high thin clouds. Temperature was a brisk 19 degrees, and dead calm winds. This should be a very good test for our birds today. Good Luck to all !

                                    Thanks for your support,

Good afternoon my friends,

               Tonight we will be shipping a short 300 mile race from Hatch,Utah. This will be a big event for your birds as they will be flying over the Grand Canyon for the first time.

                Also, I would like to remind everyone that last week was the activation race. All birds clocked last week must be activated before we ship the next Grand Canyon race on November 11th. I will update you after the release in the morning.

                               Thanks & Good Luck

Good Morning,

                          Yesterday was a great day for our birds. Most of the birds went right by the loft and came back from the south. The first group came from behind me , went over my head and dropped on the landing board. The second group hit the board while the first group was still trapping. They really did well and were none the worse for their efforts.

                         Today all the birds will have their traditional love of home day, with open hole and the bath pans in front of them.

                                        Thanks again for your support,

                                                              Bob
