About Me

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.

Goose at home on Nest #2


This goose has been on & off nest #2 for the last few days.
The pair from last year started a good nest on #4, but had trouble with a pair of geese, so they went to #2 and started a new nest. The geese that were on #4 must have moved on, so the pair of osprey are back on #4 again. They have added allot of sticks in the last few days, and seem to have complete control now.

Note: The same thing happened last year with this pair of osprey. They built a complete nest on #3, then for some reason moved to #4 and built a new complete nest there. They raised 3 young with no problem. The geese raised their young on #3 last year. (two years ago geese raised young on #2, that nest had never been cleared from the year before.) (Word is all the nests with be cleared off before the osprey return each year.)
