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!
Eagles and EaglesPosted: Thu, 29 Jan 2026A snapshot of Nigel and Sonny in their enclosure and circled to the upper left, the current hangout of the Bald Eagle pair at the river. Nesting starts in early March, if they choose to this year. They have skipped three times since construction in 2011.

Young SharpiePosted: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 I was on the beach photographing a huge flock of Red-winged Blackbirds up by the eagles across the river when this Sharp-shinned Hawk flew in and landed or a second or two, chasing two killdeer. Got this (terrible exposure) shot, no time to change camera settings, oh well. What a weird background color! She'll be back, maybe.
