About Me

Name: Frank Germann
Location: Delaware County, Ohio, US

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, and I Elaine 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.

More info Platform #4



E-mail sent by Jim Martin w/photos:

Mr. Tuttle & Mr. Phillips:
I went back to Hogback Rd. to get a few close-up photos of downed Platform #4 this morning (3/8/07). The downed platform is located below the lookout point on the cliff lookout just above platform #3. The top of Platform #4 looks in very good shape, considering everything that occurred. However, the base of this platform appears in need of a few replacement 2x6's, as the were torn off or wrecked when the ice flow hit them. A you can see it is lodged in the ice with most of the Platform above the ice flow. It appears to be about 20 yards off shore. I shrunk Frank Germann's photo that shows the Platform photo taken from Hogback Rd. perpendicular to Platform #3.
Frank, Thanks for your pictures from this morning - good work.
PS: Dave Sherman sent me the latest satellite telemetry data for the Male Osprey - he is still on location 150 miles South of the Equator in Brazil - on an island in the center of the river. The data was as of March 6 @ 09:30. This puts the Male about a week behind last year's departure date.
Best Wishes,
Jim Martin.
