I have been watching the Osprey in Delaware County, Ohio for the last 3 years. I have photographed thousands of pictures in that time. I wanted to share them as well as other photos I've taken. There also will be pictures from other photographers and information about the Osprey. Most of the pictures will be from the bottoms on Hogback Road, Brown Township, Delaware County, Ohio, USA. My wife, Elaine and I own Rabbit Quick Inc., Copy and Print Center in Downtown Delaware City. We live Northeast of Hogback Road, therefor I'm able to go by the Osprey about every other day on the way to or from work.

1st Osprey is back at Alum Creek!!! & WODU 


E-mail from Dick Tuttle

Hello Everyone, 
    Today, Wednesday 21 March 2007, I spotted a tired-looking Osprey on Alum Creek No. Four platform. The time was 1221.

I had just finished installing two high-rise Picasso Wood Duck cylinders along the North end of the lake and I wanted to see if I could easily see them from the cliff across from A.C. No. Three. You can only see the WODU cylinders if you know where to look because they are camouflaged and fancy while standing eight to nine feet above the vegetation.    

    As I glanced south I noticed a large bump on No. Four. Binoculars revealed an Osprey. The mania has started.  

Since I did not have enough white pine bedding with me for the third WODU box, I will go back to install it after I send this message. WODU will be installed along the creek east of Hogback. These boxes were originally installed in 1998 but the flood and ice pushed them into the ground three winters ago. Hopefully, they will raise Wood Ducks along with Tree Swallows while furnishing winter roost sites for Eastern Screech Owls. 

    Osprey on,   Dick Tuttle
