Concord Township Critters
Concord Township, Delaware County, Ohio

Updated: 5 September 2008

The following are photos taken in Concord Township, Delaware County, Ohio and the surrounding area during 2007-2008.

My abode, Moose Acres, is in a semi-rural area North of Dublin Ohio, and has two acres of lawn with large established trees. 1/3-acre is maintained as a "grasslands', with no mowing. There is a large deciduous wooded area across the street, and a smaller evergreen wooded area behind the property. The neighborhood is mixed rural/suburban. Also within Concord Township is the Twin Lakes Wildlife Reserve, a part of O'Shaughnessy Metro Park. A few miles away to the Southwest is Glacier Ridge Metro Park.

Most of these photos were taken with a Nikon D80 digital SLR with the Nikkor 70-300 VR zoom lens. In 2008, I have added a pair of Nikon D300 digital SLRs, and some new lenses: Nikon 200-400mm f4 VR Zoom, 70-200mm f2.8 VR Zoom, 105mm f2.8 VR Macro, and TC-14EII and TC-17EII  teleconverters.

Click on any of these thumbnails to see a slideshow of other photos of that type of critter.
