Really enjoyed my first year of racing.  Actually managed to pretty well.  Here are the final results.

1.  3rd place average speed.   Birds flew 1284.780 miles
2.  Was 5th place Champion Loft.
3.  Had 11 birds listed on the Champion Bird report.

Several birds earned diploma's
Flew all of my birds at least 100 miles and several were in the last 300 mile race.

WON MY FIRST RACE !!!!!!

Haven't posted anything for quite a while but I entered my first race 8/20 from Manhattan Kansas, 122 miles for my birds and not only did I win the race but had the first 5 and 7th with 8 birds sent.

Nice day to fly!!

Just a few birds...trying to get better at taking flying pictures.

These guys will make up half my YB team.  So far everythings going well!!
