My favorite photo - a newly fledged Bald Eagle has a feisty American Kestrel take a ride for a second, taken at the river behind the house.
Pileated Woodpecker pair in the front yard. New photos nearly every day on our Blog page!

Things are always hopping at the Raptors of the Rockies organization. We're taking care of the birds and maintaining their enclosures, we're conducting raptor programs at local schools and organizations across Western Montana, art is flying out of the studio, we're taking photos and shooting video, we're out in the field birding and/or doing research, and much, much more. To help you keep up with the flurry of activities happening at Raptors of the Rockies, we're blogging on a more-or-less daily basis and our most recent posts are listed below. Enjoy!

Brand NEWPosted: Sun, 22 Feb 2026New drypoint etching 9" x 11" called "Yardbird" because it was a pheasant in our yard, and listening to Charlie Parker jazz when I was painting the artist's proof.

Victor SchoolPosted: Mon, 16 Feb 2026We had a great assembly for the kids at Victor School, k-5 and had them repeating after me, Ap-Lo-Mad-O for the star Sonora, the Aplomado Falcon. Now they all know how to say "lead-colored" in Spanish. Then a drawing class for the 4th grade. with Simon as our model, a quick sketch on the board to get them going. Fun and a bunch more programs coming up, re-visits for three libraries and Nine Mile Community Center.

Old DrawingPosted: Sun, 15 Feb 2026I was weeding out the upstairs studio today, tossing out old stuff, and had a pad of discolored paper to throw away. This pencil drawing fell to the floor, and must be from about 1980 and KITTIES! Cracks me up, and totally forgotten. 15 inches. Finding some OLD art up there every day and might have to share some more.
