Here in the Midlands UK. It's been very changable, sun wind and
snow!! But still managed to get my kit of 2013 young birds out.
Admittedly then only had 20min to skit about the loft roof and 2
did a couple of laps round the house. It was risky with
blusterly wind, but this time I struck lucky and all 20 came
back.

Iam in northern Ohio the weather here lately has been like a
roller coaster ride. Snow one day, very cold the next day, back
to rain,then sunny skies and temps have even been in the low
60's at times. Reguardless... I put together several pairs in
early Feb... all on their first round of eggs now. I have been
flying my white homers (8) just about every other day for the
past 3 week. Not an Air Shark in site.... But, I hear them in
the distance "chirpping" away. Last weekend, I put last years
flyers and holdovers into the kit boxes, getting ready for this
flying season...

I am in Colorado its been 40 to 50 degrees and sunny this week.
I got to fly all winter long and did not lose a bird to the sky
sharks. I did lose a bird today due to a roll down. It must have
rolled 150 feet and hit the neighbors truck. Last years kits
are performing very well. My Ruby yearlings are rolling strong.
They sure developed into great spinners. I think i have a kit
that would do well in competition. Will see in the fall fly.

Well slvrollers here in S. Georgia, weather is always like a yo
yo. cold in 30's some nites, 60 the next, march winds, etc. The
hawks caused me to shut down my birds for a week, let some out
and the same BS again. Had 2 dive bomb them this year. Never had
that before, coopers have really been bad. I let out 30 ole
hodgepodge birds this morning, they flew 50m and trap--no
problem. Let out 5 rubys 6,7,8, month range, and 5 squellers,
and before they could get up good, here come a cooper right on
a squellers tail. I yelled and raise havock and he tured out,
no loss. I'm dern tired of it.. Hope things soon change. Good
luck to you and the rest, especially the Ruby Fliers, and
Pigeon fanciers.. chesley

of your RD for world cup fly and put them to the test this
spring already.

I got an email from Alan Dewey and he told me I live to far away
from Denver area for the judges to make it this year. Cliff Ball
is only in town for one day and they would need two days if the
came to Alamosa. I live about 5 hours from Denver. To bad i was
really interested in flying in the world cup fly.
