I had an overfly this morning. Lost 13 of 15 very good birds that took me since 2002 to developed and I am feeling sorry for myself..........right now I feel like raising fantails or something that doesn't fly.
Oh well,

Sorry Nick. I know the pain. I had four catastrophic overflys in the last two months and the redtails get at least 2-3 a week. Sucks big time but such is the life of our sport. I got emails from several others I know who lost their entire teams yesterday. I'd say if you lost your's this morning, you will probably get some or most back by night fall. At least that is what you hope for.
Brian.

Hey Nick, sorry you lost so many. (I feel your pain) Maybe some will come back today/tonight. I once had a bird come back after 6 days! So hang in there.

Well, they're starting to trickle in. I never had any problems with these 15 birds........they are the best air birds I have had in a very long while. Kinda like what you feel when your kids lie to ya no matter how serious the lie. It was a very clear and brisk morning, but at about 300 feet up they decided to get lost. Probably much more wind up there. These birds are also smaller then most, but they are abound with that magic stuff: character.

Nick, that is what I used to say that I never had problem with mine until it happened. I had an overfly the other day and I lost two. I will never fly my birds again before the rain storms come in. I learned form those overflyies.
