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.

6 Birds with big wingspans in 1 hour!



This morning at Hogback Road was a good day. From 8 AM to 9 AM I saw: 1 white egret, 3 blue herons, 5 osprey, a goose attacking a deer, 2 mature bald eagles and turkey vultures. (besides the usual ducks, the yapping geese, 3 or 4 cormorants, Cliff swallows King Fishers...

The adult eagles were in a tree to the south at the parking lot at the top of the hill. I moved to 4 different locations to get close as I could. The closet was from the parking lot through the trees before they took off (about 100 feet).

The fifth osprey was bothering nest #4 for awhile.

The turkey vulture was in a small tree east of the bridge on Howard Road. (about 20 feet, took picture through the passenger side window.

For one hour this morning, it couldn't get much better.
