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!

Found!Posted: Fri, 28 Aug 2026I just found this forgotten pen & ink from high school, Screech Owl. I remember we made it into prints that I sold around the neighborhood...to buy music albums at the mall! About 1976 or '77 (Talking Heads!)

Painting DaysPosted: Thu, 20 Aug 2026The latest etching was an experiment, the moose in our back yard 11 years ago. First on buff paper, it was it was headed for the burn pile because it folded up like an accordion when I painted it. So I printed another edition on heavier white paper and painted that one. The water is acrylic paint. Then Saturday I rescued the buff one, ironed it flat a dozen times and added colored pencils and pastels. ( I actually used that iron for clothes a few times, Good Will $4.99) It worked! Next - Pair of Bald Eagles, also in our yard. |
