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!

Posted: Mon, 12 Jan 2026   Sunday Morning, Black Sabbath Posted: Sun, 11 Jan 2026 All In the Family Posted: Sat, 10 Jan 2026 And parents in the nest tree, breeding first of March! Yard-full of Eagles Posted: Fri, 09 Jan 2026 Sonny and Nigel, and 4 immature Bald Eagles in the yard, parents in the nest tree.   Today's Shot! Posted: Tue, 06 Jan 2026   Love To Our Avian Friends! Posted: Fri, 02 Jan 2026   Have A Happy! Posted: Wed, 31 Dec 2025   New Etching Posted: Mon, 29 Dec 2025 Back inside working on the smaller printing press (too cold in the studio over the garage) and finished this one on Christmas. An experiment with water soluble pastel background run through the press, then a bunch of stuff to finish it off. "Flathead Lake Osprey" is inspired by summer trips to Wildhorse Island with best pal Barry Gordon.  His rustic cabin included an Osprey nest overhead and friendly birds breeding every year. R.I.P Barry, this in his honor. 8 x 12". That makes a dozen this year if you include the Red Fox on New Years Eve! Killdeer On the Beach Posted: Sun, 28 Dec 2025 Is this winter? The Killdeer looked right at home without any snow to be found. "Birds of Montana" by Marks, Hendricks and Casey reports that the few winter residents here may be those that breed further north. Apparently Missoula and here in the Bitterroot is where winter Killdeer are more likely to be spotted. Love 'em! Sonora and Pals Posted: Fri, 26 Dec 2025  Just finished a new etching with Sonora watching over my shoulder, and another pigeon picture. Visit our blog Top
