Photo of Female on Nest #1 Hogback Rd.

I got down to hog back road about 1 pm today, Saturday in the rain. I used the hatch on the back of the mini van to keep dry.

From nest #1, I got to see the male (TM) come to a tree within 50 feet of me with a fish and I was able to take about 40 photos. (This was the same branch that Jim Martin and I got great photos last week.) He then went back over to the other side and eat his fill. He then took the fish to the nest. The female took the fish off to a far tree and ate. The male took her place on the nest. There must be an egg or two!!!

See photo of the bands on the female, which girl is this?

On nest #2 the geese look to be doing fine.

On nest #4 there was 1 osprey setting tight. I did not see the other mate the half-hour I was there. (probably eggs on 4 also)

I would like to thank the couple from southern Delaware County that stop and gave my car a jump. (I left the head lights on!). You meet the nicest people watching the osprey! Thanks again!

PS: the Delaware Gazette printed a front page article in Fridays paper about the osprey and the goings on with nest #1 on Hogback Road with a photo of Jim Martin's. I hear there will be a article in the Sunday Columbus Dispatch.
