Osprey & All Things Wild Delaware County, Ohio: Alum Creek

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.

Alum Creek - Platform #1: June 2007 Update

E-mail and photo from Jim Martin:

Hello Fellow Naturalists & Conservationists:

Attached is a photo that shows the two adult Osprey with their two healthy youngsters. The two have grown significantly since my last update of a few weeks ago. A high Resolution photo is available for the asking - just RSVP.

It was a very hot afternoon for the little guys and the female spread her wings over the kids to protect them from the heat of the day. It was about 90° with a small breeze under mostly sunny skies on June 27, 2007. The female flew into the water to cool off for a few mins. as the male took over nest duties. They adults seem to feed the kids constantly at this stage of their development.

Platform #4, with it's three youngsters is also doing very well too.

Banding of the Alum Creek five babies will take place on July 3rd in the morning.

Best Wishes, Jim Martin.
