I found this tag in Pound Ridge, NY.

It’s from the Stamford, Connecticut branch and was tagged in 1996.

Poor bird probably was dinner for a hawk. I used to raise roller pigeons when I was a kid and I let them fly a lot. Several times racing homers joined my flock and came back to my loft. I'd let them eat and rest a while then send them on their way. Gary

Neat little find. The older ones wont have the plastic covering. They were all metal years ago.
