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! Visit our blog Nestling Posted: Wed, 03 Jun 2026 Wow, now that's a big Bald Eagle baby at the nest across the river, and haven't seen him/her in well over over a week with floodwaters keeping me and the dogs from our daily trip. Another nestling in there for sure, maybe two! Sonora is Helping Posted: Tue, 02 Jun 2026 Rainy day Sunday so stayed right here painting the etching, listening to Dizzy Gillespie LOUD with Sonora  the Aplomado Falcon digging' it. Heron In the Rain Posted: Sun, 31 May 2026   Tree Swallow Posted: Sat, 30 May 2026 I swear this bird is fearless, at the nest box by the gate walking to the river. Cool bird, and banded at the MPG Ranch a mile our two away. Favorite Class Posted: Fri, 29 May 2026 Here we go again, Chief Charlo 4th graders annual visit then trip to Metcalf Bird Refuge, thanks Mr. Cashman! Wish I asked if anyone wanted to mow that front lawn but knew they would decline as it's a push-mower. And $5 an hour. I've tried that before, oh well. Here's An Old One, Ospreys Posted: Thu, 28 May 2026   Fight Posted: Wed, 27 May 2026   Alway root for the Osprey! Happy Birthday, Miles Posted: Tue, 26 May 2026  Miles Davis would be 100 years old today, my first jazz hero. So much so I named this owl Miles and he was a wonderful program bird for many years. When I said to a  group of middle school kids that this bird is Miles and my last name is Davis, the teachers chuckled. One boy stood up and said, "I know who Miles Davis is - he was my gym teacher in 4th grade!"
