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. 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.

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!

Eastern Kingbird
Posted: Wed, 05 Aug 2026

This little songbird loves to chase raptors, here in my yard in the same place, a Northern Harrier and Bald Eagle. See him in between the eagles wings in that last shot? HA!

Awwwww!

 Cute little pigeons, just out of their eggs hours old. Just kidding about the cute.

And the fledgling Great Blue Heron was waving at us yesterday. Kidding again and just scratching her head.

New One
Posted: Mon, 27 Jul 2026

 Brand new and "Northern Goshawk." Just finished this one today, from some photos of my visit to the Big Hole with Jack Kirkley who installed me in a blind at the nest. It’s when the female knew something was up and gave me that look. HA ! A drypoint etching with acrylic and gouache paint, plus pastels. 10" x 13”.





Happy Birthday Mose
