Looks like maybe the race is over. Might be a racer too.
A little online research of the numbers on the bands would let you know where the bird came from.

That’s very cool. I wouldn’t mind shooting a banded bird one day! Happy birthday to your dad and keep up the good shooting!

Yes, the homing racing pigeon clubs had their race Friday with the birds being released. Looks like that one won’t be making it home to the roost. Probably better to die by bullet than by goshawk I guess.
