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.

Good Progress At The Horseshoe/Leonordsburg Rd. Osprey Nest



E-mail and photos from Jim Martin:

Hello Everyone:

Despite a later start (then others in Delaware County) the Osprey on top of the huge cell tower at the corners of Horseshoe and Leonordsburg Roads are making good progress with preparing their nest. I have attached 2 photos to contrast the nest size changes between April 29th and today, May 5, 2007. It appears that this pair could be getting serious about starting a family. We have seen other Osprey pairs go through the motions of what appeared to be a viable nest, but, due to their youth, are unsuccessful. Either way, we seem to have a new pair that have taken up homestead in Delaware County, Ohio. That is good news for the Osprey reintroduction program in Central Ohio.

We'll keep watch with nest and hope for the best.

Best Wishes,
Jim Martin.
