Just looked outside, and bird #1393 was sitting on the landing board, waiting to get in!
I opened the door, and flipped up the trap to let the others out, and all 12 flocked up and flew a victory lap around the yard, then were joined by the blue team (after I flipped up their door as well).
The one that didn't make it home until today was one of the two that returned 16 days after the fly off I had back in May.
A breeder got out by accident and 9 of my babies followed if as it headed for Kentucky.
I did get 7 of the 9 back, during 2 1/2 weeks following. I truly believe that someone took a few of them in for a few days, since they did not come home starving.
