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.

Cell Tower Nest? Fox NOT!





I went to the cell tower this Friday morning, did not see the pair of ospreys on the tower or in the green tree marsh. The nest still has a big hole in the center, just as it has for the last four days. I would say they may have given up, hope they will return next year. This morning was the first time I could not find them.

There were 2 Red Tail hawks setting one above the other on power lines with a Kestrel trying to chase them off. This was on Shoemaker Road west of Whipple Road.

I did see the Redheaded Woodpecker on Monday in the green tree marsh on old Leonardsburg Rd.

Last week I reported I saw a fox up a tree, I have to change that to a "blond raccoon" with no visible banding. This was in a tree in the middle of a newly planted corn field off of Whipple Road. I returned to the same spot 5 mornings in a row, and observed it 4 of those days. One of the last photos taken showed hands and not paws, so no fox but a odd raccoon.
