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.

Another Super Day at Delaware Lake!





I spent 2 and 1/2 hours at Delaware Lake Thursday morning, I didn't want to leave! But I made the mistake of taking the cell phone and was getting calls from work.

I went to take photos of American Kestrels, but did not find them. Spent time at box #1 on Horseshoe Rd., just north of Leonardsburg Rd. and at box #11 on Sherwood Rd. No Kestrels would poses for me. A immature bald eagle and a full grown eagle flew north within a few minutes of each other. Beats me where they were going.

I took one photo up north looking south at the cell tower on Leonardsburg Rd. with the two ospreys on top.

I then headed into the park and went north on Panhandle Rd where it dead ends at the parking lot. I was trying to find the pond where I saw a eagle caught a catfish on Wednesday. If you want to see a couple of fantastic ponds you have to take the short walk from the parking area!!! (Go east on the mowed grass path.) I don't know how any farmer could have give up their little bit of paradise to the state for the making of Delaware Lake.

Well, needless to say I took a lot of great photos. I would have enjoyed myself even if I didn't have the camera!
