Nice looking group. Hopefully they'll make it in this horrible Hacienda Heights sky. Hope to see you at our flys.

It's terrible Efren!Everytime i try to fly ,the Red Tails are all over them making them dot out.I don't think i could ever train to compete because of this.I'll keep trying though..at least for now.

My brother and I both have the same pair of coopers hitting us. They work together to catch one of our birds. I'm hoping that they will be migrating soon...

I hope Efren,but this is the ugliest i've seen it in many years(many Coopers and Red Tails w/occasional peregrines).It's bound to only get worse!

I feel you luis. 2 years ago, that same thing happen to me. The BOP just won't leave. I think they want to nest in my area or something. But this years seems to be brighter and beautiful. I don't have a feeling that a copper would fly above my kit so that's GOOD.
I like your young birds, I wish mine can just get all kinds of crazy color then just black & black w/f.

Dark tort Efren,at least that's what i think.He's about 2 and 1/2 months old so i think he'll lighten up some.
Washington,i'm glad your skies are clearing.In regards to color,i guess it depends on what you start out with.I have 3 different families(Higgins,Reed,Scott)so plenty of variety over here!Hoping to narrow it down sometime, or when the BOPs allow me to see what i have!

You might be right Val,althought neither of the parents is a mottle.The sires mom is a black mottle.The bottom 1 is a full brother to the top ones dad!
ps:Glad your still with us and thanks for the time you put in here.We all appreciate it.

I'm not so sure about the r red, but I have two young Urbans that are colored the same. Their father is a red mottle, so I'm just guessing!
I have a few of my higgins young birds start out colored like the top bird and so far they have all mottled out! Their mother is a mottle!
Let me know after they molt!
