Lock em down for a few days and when you resume maybe try flying them at daybreak as soon as there is enough light to get them up. Sometimes you can get them out and back in before the hawks have had their coffee and their wits together. Get em back in the kit box QUICK though don't let em hang out and fool around after they land. If they are slow trapping feed less and you can control them to trap in fast. No dilly dallying on the roof!

As long as your birds are out,and getting hit by the BOP. It's a food "stop" for them. Take away their food source and they should move on down the road..

I was hit by a cooper on Sat. This is the first one I have seen in about a month. It got one of my birds and went down but the bird was able to get away and back to the kit box and did not seem worse for the encounter.
I have been flying in the evenings and Sat. was the first time I had flown in the mornings so I do not know if this has something to do with it or not.
