2012 Young Birds Update

2012 Young Birds Update

It’s been a little while since I made an update.  Sorry to anyone who follows this closely.  My 2012 young birds are doing quite well.  All are looking strong and healthy.  If I only had my traps and aviaries built in the new loft, I would have them loft flying already.  My second round birds have been hatching over the last week or so.  I have 6 banded and I’ll band 4 more in the next few days.

My 3 birds ...

Spring Break 300 02-21-2012

This training toss was from 45 miles.  A little bit of a curve ball for the birds as they have been flying from greater distances lately.  I’m starting to get a little disappointed in my birds performance.  I feel lucky that all three are still in the mix though!  42991 has become my best performing bird.

Spring Break 300 02-17-2012

Another longer toss for the Spring Break birds.  80 Miles from Oak City.  This toss left me checking back for results often as one of my birds didn’t come back.  Finally the very last bird to return on the next day was my 42993.  My birds as a whole performed poorly on this toss.  42992 barely made it back as a day bird.

Spring Break 300 02-10-2012

Spring Break 300 02-10-2012

They took the birds to 80 miles today.  Beautiful weather today in Utah.  It was 56 degrees when I was driving home from work today.  Probably a little warmer than that down in Beaver where they hold the race.  After that last toss I was really excited for today’s toss.

My birds did very poorly today with 42993 clocking 361st,  42991 clocking in 2.5 hours later, and 42992 appears to be missing.  It’s well after dark now and the bird that ...

Spring Break 300 02-05-2012

I had a good surprise from the Spring Break One Loft Race today.  They took the birds out to a new distance of 79 Miles.  For a while it was unclear if they should release the birds due to fog.  Finally it cleared enough to release the birds.

My 42992 Cock came in just 11 seconds behind the top bird.  Gives me some hope for a decent performance in this race.  My other two birds however, did not perform well on ...

Spring Break 300 01-29-2012

Another toss today from 45 miles plus a video update from the Spring Break 300.  This toss had some very fast speeds with the top bird coming in at a blazing 1736 YPM.  Once again my birds were right in the middle.  Nothing to be too excited about.

They are hoping to get them out to 75 miles on the next good day.  That will be an interesting distance.  I expect they may lose a few birds from 75 miles.  And ...

Spring Break 300 01-26-2012

It’s been a while since the last training toss for the Spring Break Pigeons.  There has been weather issues and high K factor.  The race managers are being careful as they would like to have as many birds as possible make it to the final race.  I think they are doing a great job and there is still plenty of time before the races.

This toss was to 45 miles again and while I’m very glad my birds are still in ...

Spring Break 300 01-22-2012

The folks at the Spring Break 300 Race have been really good with updates and training the birds.  I’m very pleased with the level of effort and professionalism from Dan and Randy.  They are hoping to have the birds out to 75 miles soon.  From their last update they are waiting for the next nice weather day and will go to 45 miles again.

They released a nice update video which shows the condition, of some of the birds.  I kept ...

Spring Break 300 01-14-2012

Dan and Randy took the birds to 45 miles today.  Longest toss so far for the the Spring Break Race this year.  According to the report, the weather was nice with just a slight headwind.  Unfortunately quite a few birds didn’t make it back.  As of now (01/16/2012 08:57am), 453 out of 514 birds has returned.  60+ birds is a big dent in the race.  They assume that some of the birds overflew because many came in from a different ...
