Good Morning , 

We woke yesterday morning to thick fog and only a quarter mile visibility. This hung in the entire morning so I kept the birds in yesterday.  Today however after last evenings  rain we had a bright sunny morning all one can ask for.   The birds are doing well with~ 310 out to freedom and ~150 more on the boards trap training.  Just 3 weeks left or until May 5th that we will be taking birds and replacements.  This is a mass email but please check your bird inventory as I try to post daily the presence of the birds.  Take note about 100birds of the trap training sections are not being scanned (birds received after Mar 24th) . 

Good afternoon,

Sunny day here but still only a blistering 55 degrees.  Birds are healthy and just finished their monthly regimen of canker treatment.  Settling has been another story.   Just get a new bunch out on the boards and a hawk hits hem for a scatter.  Please check my daily inventories to determine your replacement needs. Birds received the week of  March 26-30 are trap training but are not being scanned at this point..

I will be in east Portland,OR next Tuesday, March 19th and will be picking up birds around 12:00 to 1:00pm.  Give me a call if you want to make connections. 

Beautiful days for the next several here is Central Oregon.  Let the birds out for the first time today only to find many birds had been missed clocking.  Will have try again tomorrow.  

Trying to get things finished and buttoned up for the year.  Planning to return any more claimed birds the week of Nov 27th.  The last of the prize checks were mailed Nov. 17 unless a W-9 was needed and those breeders have been notified. Thank you for the successful season and have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!!!............Paul

Concentrating this coming week on returning Prize winning birds, then the week of the 13th all others. If you have not already sent your desire to have your birds returned please email.  Return shipping cost is yet to be determined Monday I should have a better knowledge of prices.  Those with winnings of $600 or more need to send me a W-9.  Have great week !!!!

312 birds are in route  to Battle Mtn, Nevada our 350 mile and Final Race release point.  We have planned a 7:45 release  and should be expecting birds home after 3:00.  Lunch has been planned for 1pm so bring a chair  and warm clothing as the high for tomorrow is 50 degrees with bright sun. See you tomorrow!!!

The final race will be flown Sunday October 29th.   Weather conditions including wind gusts to 20mph along with predicted rain and snow showers the last 100 miles into evening have forced us to make the change.  See you Sunday......Paul 

At this point the final race is being planned for Friday, Oct 27.  Please RSVP so we can plan the meal and surely come and join us anyway!!!!
