Ospreyers,

Dotty Mumford will be heading down to Irish Grove on October 26 to stay for almost a week.  She is hoping that others will join her on some work projects to improve the property and also to partake in some great birding opportunities.  The main project will be to repair the front porch roof, so those with carpentry skills are especially welcomed.  All the trails, including the marsh trails, need maintenance as well, and the house is due for its regular cleaning.  Irish Grove is a wonderful place to bird in the fall, and Chincoteague is not far away.  You can also enjoy fishing, canoeing or kayaking in the creeks.  Please contact Dotty at 410-849-8336 or  if you would like to participate.  If you've not been to Irish Grove before, please visit the MOS web site (www.mdbirds.org) for much more information about this special MOS sanctuary.
