Picnic 2011

A wonderful gathering of friends and an excellent spring afternoon marked this year's edition of MASCOT's annual picnic.  The photos below are a few scenes of the day.  In addition to the good food brought by the members there was lots of discussion about our birds as we anticipate the 2011 show season.  MASCOT's members are planning to attend many ASC chapter shows this season.  So if we missed you yesterday we will see you soon in Buffalo, Quebec, Cleveland, Livonia, Parsippany, Baltimore, Danbury, or Hauppauge just to name a few cities that host ASC shows.

The Wisley Clematis bloomed just in time for the picnic.

Tad can run from the camera, but he can't hide...when you hold him still!

Yum yum!!!

Nancy -- Picnic photographer who stopped snapping shots long enough to greet Brodie, the always  hungry Cairn Terrier who served as the event vacuum cleaner.

We hope to see you at next year's MASCOT picnic!
