David holds his first pigeon he got from Loftus Green in 1980.

David Stephenson is a photojournalist by trade and races homing pigeons in central Kentucky for the fun of it. David’s first pigeons were bought from a Lexington flyer named Loftus Green in about 1980 when David was 10. The birds had to be given up when the teen years rolled around, but they came back into his life as adult. Now, he shares the experience with his wife and daughter.
