Here is a great summary of the current status from the pigeon folks.    Gives a state to state breakdown of the latest developments.

Here is a Facebook posting from today.   Apparently Missouri shows are open, but only to in-state residents this year.   I don't see any options left for an A.A. national meet in 2015.   What are the thoughts of the rest of you?

.It is my understanding that some papers today carry a story on Avian Influenza that says Missouri currently has 4 flocks under quarantine. I just spoke with our friends at the Missouri Department of Ag. This information is incorrect. It appears the paper mixed us up with the quarantine in Arizona (eggs/birds shipped in to 4 farms from Iowa that tested positive). As of this moment there are NO cases of AI under investigation in Missouri. Our shows and swaps continue as planned though they are only for Missouri residents this year.
