Help keep me alive and working! My only income comes from my writing and having adventures; so help keep me going even at 74 and with Parkinson’s.
“Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?”

Hi Steve. I've seen that scene at my house before. I'm going to submit a good thief pouter article to you soon. I've been raising Picas and Moroncelos for the past couple of years.
On a different note, I'm not sure if you are a certified archeologist or not but I work for the USDA/NRCS and we are in need of archeologists to help with our arc clearances. If you would be interested in some work you can email me at clint.chisler@nm.usda.gov

i would love to hear more about your birds, and have always thought Moroncelos are a nice breed. I have mostly homer X Rafenos, bred back to Raf, for pouters.
My wife Libby is a former archaeologist with interest in early Americans– she dug at Hell gap in the sixties. Blog partner Reid (Farmer) is active and ongoing in the same area. I'm just a fan who studied Biology and would end up writing…
Sure thing Steve. I'll send you some photos and do a little write up on them. I'm basically outcrossing Moroncelos to Horseman, Cubans, Homers, and Picas and then crossing back till I get the color pattern back. I don't think too many Moroncelos were brought over and they need a little outcrossing.
Exactly as I had to do for Rafenos.
Send an email to "ebodio- at- gilanet- dot- com" and I will send photos.
