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!

PreeningPosted: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 First time I have witnessed Janie actually preening, taking care of all those feathers! Day 18 here. Next we want her to tear up a quail all by herself, holding it in her feet. It will happen, I just know it.

Rope ExpertPosted: Fri, 25 Sep 2026Nigel the 28 year-old Golden Eagle gets these treats, knots to untie for fun. The one on the left today, wasted one a week ago. He drapes them dramatically over his perches, and Bald Eagle Sonny doesn't get it. Enrichment.
