list,
We all have read about what a rising barometer
could do to your kit....... overfly.....
What about a high pressure system.
Do you guys tend to see your birds flying higher
when a high pressure system is over your area ?
And if so how do you deal with it ?

Ray,
To be honest, the only thing that concerns me about weather is wind and wind gusts. That is the only concern that I take on. I have read many article about the barametric changes and the such, but I don't concern myself with it. Not that I don't think it has merit, but because I decided to key up on other aspects; I am just not smart and bright enough to go beyond wind speed and the speed of gusts(LOL). Most generally my over flys are induced by a BOP either it be high or low preasure system in the area. I do know that my birds fly higher when the sky is higher....I guess that would be a high pressure system that causes that(LOL)
I am so sorry that I am so ignorant, but sometimes I feel that it is best to be ignorant about some issues or my simple mind will just errupt and blow into a scattered mess about the yard.

Ray, I usually check for wind and pressure, the birds do elevate a little more when the pressure is up! Ray thanks for the pics! Sal

This is what i pull out from notes i keep .
If your Barometer tells you the pressure is 30.2 or higher be careful about flying your birds ..If it is high and no wind present you better believe you are in the middle of a column of light buoyant air.you have a chance of losing your birds because they would go straight up and away never to be seen again.now if the pressure is high and the wind is blowing then you are a bit safer since you are not in the middle of the system.and we all know rollers tend to stay low when its windy----------there is a lot of ways to avoid loses like flyaway.keep away from high fat like corn and other high fat grains in the summer time.

It is when it is rising fast and no wind at ground level that concerns me.They can get caught in the vortex and up,up and away.

Ray,
The average of pressure is from sea level and the higher the altitude the less pressure is asserted as in inches
or millibars and a - factor is used to measure.
Steady pressure is approx. 29. something at sea level.
High pressure or rising pressure brings good weather or clear blue skys.
Low pressure brings cloudy or bad weather.
I always have a barometer on my loft and if it is rising
I don't fly because the clear blue skys will surley make the birds keep getting higher if they are at the fly fit
or stronger part of my feeding to get better spin.
Steady or low pressure gives them a ceiling to hold them down.
My take on the deal .

Oh,yeah! A low ceiling with drizzle is some of the best fly days in fall winter around here the BOP lay off usually.
