       I probabaly already know the effect from what i saw this
       morning. I am retired and can flybirds most any time. The time
       i use to fly was 8am dstime now its back estime i think ? Anyhow
       the sun is higher but the clock  slower ? My internal clock
       hasn't changed. What i'm beating around the bush to say is that
       it's hotter now at 8am than it was a month ago. Imagine that !
       So this morn i let the birds out  about 8.30,  that 30min delay
       heated them up big time at their last 15 min i'd say, they flew
       50 min. and came down hasling a bit, seem to rest a min before
       trappin. So whats a man to do that can't fly early. My back over
       neighbor let his team out about 4pm, he said they flew up
       circled and hit the traps. How does  fanciers fly like in the
       heat. I'm 14 mi north of fl state line. It 94 today. If it isn't
       the  sky sharks, its the heat. The bops have move elsewhere for
       now. Is it to early to fly at early day light ?  Chesley
