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.

Kestrel, Redheaded Woodpecker, Fox & More!








Another great 2 days with the camera.

I've been trying for the last few days to get a photo of a Kestrel. Today at box #15 on Whipple Road I got my chance. Plus photos of a Redheaded woodpecker, a sparrow with a fancy hair doo and a young fox up a tree.

At the Green Tree Marsh on Leonardsburg Road, 2 more redheaded woodpeckers, Little Green Heron, big green frogs, 3 pairs of geese with young and of course the osprey on the cell tower.

The nest on the cell tower is getting bigger, it is almost hard to see light through the bottom of it when looking straight up.

The #4 osprey nest on Hogback looks to be fine, the male on #1 was adding grass and sticks to the nest. Every evening at dark, geese come in from all directions near #1. If the female is on the roost she will take off and dive bomb them and make the geese dive under the water. She puts on quite a show.
