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!

Power OutagePosted: Fri, 19 Dec 2025With the huge winds Wednesday morning, a ponderosa pine fell across the road and knocked down our power lines. Electricity was out starting at 9 am and the chimney cover blew off and smashed. I was waiting for a mouse delivery but had power lines across the driveway. So I wrote a sign on the fence for FedEx to STOP and give me a call, that I would come get them on the road. Thankfully got the mice. 300! Then power out all day, finally fixed at 2 pm. We ran up to the ACE hardware for parts and Tom fixed the chimney top, then I climbed on the roof to reinstall. Tom sat down to watch the news, hit the button and power out again! So happy it was light enough here to paint an etching the last two days. I never do the whole edition of 5, so it was 2/5 Heron Trio! I just whistled and hummed songs- never done art without music, and a new appreciation for electricity.
