Hi everyone,

I had some computer issues this morning as I pulled over the training results from yesterday and the first 12 that clocked are not showing up - but they indeed did clock.

I'll see if I can manually update this - but no promises.

Rick took the birds for another toss this morning and I will see what I can do to upload them today for you.  

From yesterday's toss, Rick was very happy with the birds' performance - as they actually beat him home.

Stay tuned for what transpires today :)

Thanks,

Hi there

Just letting you know that there is a new training toss from yesterday that is now posted under the TRAINERS tab.  He took them 40km but I've listed the race station as a 35km station.

No training today as it was raining but Rick still had them loft fly.  They flew in the rain for about 30 mins.

The plan is for another training toss tomorrow where he'll shoot for 40-50km.  

Watch for updates this weekend for tentative race dates and prize amounts!

Thanks

Evening all,

There's a new training toss up from yesterday.  Sorry for the delay - soccer tournament weekend!

Rick brought the birds 30kms yesterday morning and released them at 7am.  The weather yesterday morning was clear when he released the birds but the weather changed for the rest of the day and became cloudy and rainy.

A few stragglers arrived up front and then a big group came home.  They did all stuck together (more than 200 in a group) and flew together for over an hour.

He plans to train them again 30-50km tomorrow morning...of course dependent on weather.

Thanks

Good evening everyone,

Rick let the birds out from just over 20kms this morning at 8:15am.  I've listed it as a 20km race station in the TRAINERS tab.

You'll notice that one bird clocked at 8:15 - and this bird was not at the release point.  this bird did not come home after the last toss - but decided to join the crew today.  Just FYI.

Tomorrow looks like a rest day for the birds.  Saturday morning the plan is to take them 40-50kms for a toss.

Have a great night,

Evening pigeon fanciers,

Early this morning Rick let the birds out for a slightly longer training toss from 20kms away.  He released the birds about 7:20am.  I've now posted the results online under the TRAINERS tab in wincompanion.

It was an incredibly hot day today, that seems to be an understatement.  Rick let them out as early as he could due to the heat, but it was still humid even early at that time.

The birds came home, not quite as the large group coming fairly together, but they still came home.  We're down a few birds, the clock has 311 on it as of 7:30pm tonight.  We'll see if some more come home perhaps when it's cooler in the early morning.

Have a great night,

Jeane (aka "The 1st Pigeon Lady")

Evening everyone,

Birds had a great day starting out with an 8am training toss from 15kms away - likely is last time from this distance.

A video from the release as well as a video of some of them coming home is also posted on our Facebook page.

Another video showing the birds hanging out this evening on the landing board was just posted as well on Facebook.

See the TRAINERS tab on wincompanion for the return of the birds from this morning's toss.

Hope everyone had a great long weekend!

Morning!

Rick took the birds 15kms again this morning - released them at 7:45am.

He managed to just beat them home and remembered to take both a release video and an arrival video!

I've posted the videos on Facebook for those able to sign in there.

Results from the toss are also now in the Trainers section in wincompanion.

Have a great weekend!

Good morning everyone,

Another 5km training toss / inventory is up from yesterday - just posted this am.  The 5km toss was done at 9am yesterday.

Rick has a loft fly planned for today and then another training toss for tomorrow morning.

A little overcase here this morning with some scattered drizzle...but looks like there will be some sun later this afternoon.

Have a great one!

Good morning everyone

Rick managed to get a training toss in this morning from about 3kms out.  He released the birds at 9am.

He made sure to clear the clock and I should be able to post the results from this one when I'm home later!

Have a great day,

Jeane (aka "The 1st Pigeon Lady")
