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. 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!

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!
