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, 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.

Alum Creek's Mating Ospreys 

E-mail from: Dick Tuttle

Hello Everyone,
I thought the cold spell would cool things at Osprey sites in Delaware County.
I was wrong.
Thursday, April 4, 2007.
Alum Creek No. Four: The Ospreys mated on the perch at 1852. Alum Creek No. One: TM and his warrior princess mated on their nest at 1902. No activity on the other two platforms -- no geese.

Delaware Lake: What appeared to be a male Osprey was perched in a tree along the western shore. (8x) A cold, harsh wind persuaded me to return to my car at 1830 after a short visit to the area.

Hoover Nature Preserve: I visited the board walk yesterday, Tuesday, April 3, and the wind and waves caused so much vibration in the structure that I could not see any definition at the platform with my scope. I did see two Ospreys in the area at the same time. The nest is nine to ten inches tall, the largest in the County so far. I use the two by two’s along the side of the platform as a gauge -- they are eight inches long.

Raptor on,   Dick Tuttle
