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!

Mose the Stick DogPosted: Sat, 27 Apr 2024Both pups chase the stick every evening, but then time to get down to work and photograph eagles. They are so patient with me, as I tell them, "Five more minutes," over and over again.

Curiosity?Posted: Mon, 22 Apr 2024Last night the male eagle flew right over my head and landed 20 feet straight up in cottonwood on the beach. He watched, preened his feathers, maybe just curious. The dogs started barking at the big bird, and he finally split after about 10 minutes. What a treat.

Nice JokePosted: Sun, 21 Apr 2024Did anyone else spot the plastic Canada Goose hunting decoy at the top of a snag on the south end of Metcalf Refuge? Only there a week, maybe less, and makes you stop and scratch your head, what is that?

Florence KidsPosted: Wed, 17 Apr 2024Yesterday we had a fun program for the kindergarten kids here at Florence Elementary. Our favorite teacher Julia White got this snapshot of students with Portia hooting up an owl, and promising they will go outside this spring and summer. Big day for young Bodie the American Kestrel - her first program and a Superstar, plus she didn't mind Mischa the Peregrine watching from behind.
