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!

I told her I might name the bird Sacagawea, and she said, how about “Janie.” That’s what Lewis and Clark called her, a nickname. So meet Janie: | Janie!Posted: Mon, 14 Sep 2026Our new youngster, Peregrine Falcon from breeder Mark Bolton in Livingston. A gift as she is very small, might have vision issues, and would not be a flighted bird for falconry. So an education member and practically perfect so far, one week tomorrow. News on the way. Love her, Janie!
