Osprey & All Things Wild Delaware County, Ohio: 2007 Osprey Migration South

About Me

Name: Frank Germann

Location: Delaware County, Ohio, United States

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.

2007 Osprey Migration South - Sept 14-17

E-mail & graphic form Jim Martin:

Hello Fellow Naturalists & Conservationists:

The Male Osprey (TM) begun his Wintering migration to Brazil on Sept 14, 2007. He took a somewhat circuitous route by leaving Alum Creek and traveling to Lake Erie, 27 miles East of Cleveland, Ohio. From there he flew South to the Ohio-Kentucky boarder, onto central Tennessee then to southern Georgia. The last telemetry data showed he was ~50 miles from the northern boarder of Florida on Sept 17 at 07:37.

All in all he has traveled 850+ miles. Between Sept 16 (01:00) and Sept 17 (01:30) he flew nearly 300 miles. He averaging ~213 miles per day(4).

Attached is a Google Earth© map that shows his progress. A special thanks to Dave Sherman for the satellite telemetry data.

Best Wishes,

Jim Martin
