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.

LISTENING TO THE LAND AT THE DELAWARE STATE WILDLIFE AREA

E-Mail from Dick Tuttle & Press Release form the Ohio Division of Wildlife:

Frank,
Please post this announcement on your blog. Much will be enjoyed at this event. I intend to supply feathers for feather tossing for Tree Swallows. The swallows will swoop to grab floating feathers to take back to their nest boxes.

The following press release was furnished by the Ohio Division of Wildlife.

See you there, Dick Tuttle
