Thunderstorms rolled through last night. The radar showed a few spritzes of green between here and the drop when I got up. By the time I boxed the birds and took a shower - they were gone. Still, considering the possible ionizing of the atmosphere, I decided to drop them a 4th time from the 42 mile point. The sky looked clear at 5am. The winter constellations were very bright.
It looked like it was going to be a beautiful day. They had a 5-6mph tail wind. I let them go (and then got an email on my Blackberry which messed up my photo) and they took off in the right direction. By the time I uploaded this photo and got the car turned around (a couple of minutes) they were back - and circling. They took off straight east (opposite direction to home). They must've course corrected pretty quickly after that because they made it home on time. Tomorrow - big jump up! 64 miles! Or 100+ km (that sounds even more impressive, eh?)
