About Me

Name: Frank Germann

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.

Osprey Exercising it's wings - Platform #4.


E-mail and photo from Jim Martin:

Hello:
We had an Observer tell us of a possible fledge from platform #4 on July 11, 2007. That would have been nearly a week earlier that best estimates. I have been watching that platform (#4) along Hogback Road nearly every morning and evening since. I am convinced that there was no fledge and that the Fifth Osprey (Female, also called the fifth wheel) was mistaken for an Osprey youngster. Also, I have examined four photos taken by the Observer and I could not confirm the predicted fledge.

The attached photo shows the "highest" any youngster has flown during wing exercise. It will not be long now!

Best Wishes,
Jim Martin
