The race birds are being watered before being released for our final race. They are at Troy Texas, south of Waco. They arrived the evening before and had a good rest.

This is AU 17 CENL 7142. This bird belongs to Marvin Carter from Louisiana. 7142 was 1st through the trap from 225 miles flying 1296 ypm. There were 17 birds on the 1st drop. Marvin had another bird in the 1st drop also. Congratulations Marvin and 7142!

 

 

We were happy to have spectators for our 100 mile race. Left to right is Christian Messina, his father Tony Messina, Chuck Kuehl who was last years 300 mile winner, Loretta and Bob Merritt.

 

 

A few of your birds being lofted in. The process is going really well so far.

 

 

Burt and Barbara Steward drove over from Oklahoma City a few weeks back and brought their nice young birds for the 2017 race series. Burt has flown in the club in Oklahoma City in the past but not lately. Get back in there Burt!

 

 

 

Wayne Lowe and Nate Gentry brought their 2017 race entries today. Nate loves his black pigeons. In the 2016 race series his black pigeon was equal 1st on the 225 mile race. He’s hoping AU 17 VITA 3761 will be the big winner this year. We wish him luck.
