One-Loft Futurity Update 8/29/10

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

The 83 birds had a 32-mile toss on Tuesday, a 65-mile toss on Saturday, and then a 45-mile toss on Sunday. John reports that for the most part they are still all returning together.

It was a beautiful morning in Renfro Valley where the birds were released for a 45-mile toss Sunday.

One-Loft Futurity Update 8/22/10

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

The flock (minus Miss Independent blue-check) circles overhead before heading north from their 65-mile toss.

The birds had a successful toss from the 65-mile mark on Sunday, Aug. 22. For you local folks, they were released near the intersection of KY 461 and US 80 (near Somerset). John reports that returns were good and they birds looked great. One little LKY blue-check decided to hang back in the crate and give the others a head start. I guess she needed to stretch and go through her pre-flight check before hitting the skies. She seems to be in her own little pigeon world and doesn’t feel inclined to be part of the crowd.

Update: Added a photo from this morning. Also, I should have been a bit more clear about recent training. The birds have been getting road tosses three times a week and loft fly almost every day that they don’t get road trained, so they are in the air almost every day. After numerous shorter tosses, they have been 32 miles three or four times, 45 miles two or three times and now they have been 65 miles once as of 8/22.

One-Loft Futurity update August 14

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

We are almost a month away from our first race and the birds are training well. They have been out 45 miles at this point and we have 83 birds remaining. When the birds were crated this morning for the 45-mile toss, they were inventoried and the bird list has been updated to reflect which birds are missing.

One-Loft Futurity update Aug. 8

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Here are some photos and a short video of a 32-mile training toss from Berea on Sunday morning, August 8. One bird bolted from the group and went straight home, beating the flock by 20 minutes. The rest of the flock gathered up and circled for about five minutes before disappearing.

There are about 82 birds remaining in training. There were some heavy losses and an injury during a toss last week when the flock was attacked by a hawk immediately after release.

We will work on a current roster in the coming days and will post another update. The bird list can be seen here.
