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.

Babies On Platform #4 - Day #2 photo. Hogback Rd


E-mail & Photo from Jim Martin:

Hello Fellow Naturalists & Conservationists: This morning Frank Germann and I had a little better luck at platform #4 along Alum Creek with taking photos. The attached photo shows the male Osprey feeding small bits of fish to his mate, who in turn, was feeding the two youngsters. In this photo you can see the circular egg shell directly in front of the female's (on the left). Next to the egg shell you can see the dark feathers of the youngster. Theses feathers are the ones behind the eyes of the little newborn.

Conditions:
  • Date: May 24, 2007
  • Duration: 0815 - 0910 Hours,
  • Skies: Partly Cloudy,
  • Wind: Mild,
  • Temperatures: 73° - 78°.
  • Platform #4: Male & Female Osprey Feeding two babies (Crappie).
  • Equipment: Nikon Digital Camera (Martin), Canon Digital Camera & binoculars (Germann).
  • PS: All is well at platform #1 as incubation nears it's end.

Best Wishes,
Jim Martin
