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!

KilldeerPosted: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 My favorite shorebird, and two Killdeer spent the "winter" on the river. They are starting to look a little more comfy but snow on the way.

Belted KingfisherPosted: Fri, 06 Mar 2026 Our favorite perching bird, chasing another female kingfisher around at the slough. My new project is a big acrylic painting of Sib the Peregrine and a long story. Hopefully I will recount this saga, if the painting succeeds...we'll see, promise.

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.
