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!

Cincinnati Zoo!Posted: Mon, 20 Mar 2023In just under a month I am off to the Cincinnati Zoo for an engagement with the Barrows Conservation Lecture, Wednesday, April 19: Kate (Phillips) Davis began her avian-loving life here at the Cincinnati Zoo with the Junior Zoologist Club (JZC) and mentor Barry Wakeman. Then only 13 years old, the JZC has influenced every aspect of her life since. Kate founded the education program Raptors of the Rockies 35 years ago and still runs the program from the banks of the Bitterroot River in Western Montana. Along for the ride are a dozen non-releasable and falconry birds, the stars of nearly 2000 programs. They are family and the sources of inspiration for her drawings, paintings, etchings, welded steel sculptures, photography, and writing. Kate has authored and illustrated seven books, including Falcons of North America and Raptors of the West. |
