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!
Today At the BeachPosted: Thu, 17 Jul 2025 The other Bald Eagle fledgling waiting for some nice nutrition to float by, scavenger-fashion. Not very spooky with me and the swimming dogs.

Tree SwallowsPosted: Wed, 09 Jul 2025 A kestrel has been making the rounds at all of the swallow boxes and have seen him score. This box is right in the yard, a snapshot just now when I was hanging the laundry on the line.

Eager BeaversPosted: Sun, 06 Jul 2025The resident beavers are building another dam under our bridge across the slough, several attempts over the years. One time our dogs ripped the branches out with great relish every trip to the river, for some reason. This is just three days (nights) work! Before Tom built the bridge 23 or so years ago, a beaver dam was our access to the other side, washed out repeatedly.

Some FunPosted: Fri, 04 Jul 2025New one today, drypoint etching called "Red-tail and her Stick" inspired by a hawk I saw last summer, flying high, dropping a little stick and catching it over and over. Playful fun. 12" x 16" with printing inks, gouache and pencils.
