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!

Missoula Art MuseumPosted: Mon, 10 Nov 2025Raptors and Art for Grown-ups on Saturday, packed 'em in the classroom, the best one yet and some real artists. Fun with Sonora the Aplomado, Simon and Little Billie the owls, and Nigel the Golden Eagle on his best behavior. Thanks Cathy Scholtens for giving me a hand and taking this photo. Birds, anatomy, drawing, painting and printmaking - Bev Beck Glueckert at the helm! Another one of these soon.

WarmthPosted: Tue, 28 Oct 2025The rest of the wood cut from the pile by pal Ryan, then tucked the splitter away...for now! Unfortunately a bunch of spruce hidden under the fir and larch, oh well. Works for now.

Sibley's Last ProgramPosted: Sat, 25 Oct 2025 Just a week before her death Sibley the Peregrine was invited to a gathering at long-time Raptor Backer Ken Siebel's home in Stevensville. She and Wes the kestrel, Portia the Barred and Billie the Saw-whet Owls had a great visit with his guests, including Henry Kerst and his mom Stephanie, Ken's secretary. I received this card in the mail with a note from 8 year-old Henry: "I am sorry about Sibley, but glad I got to see her."?????? And glad to meet the Kerst family. Ken was staring at Sibley wide-eyed and remembering her flying at his ranch 20 years ago, one time chasing a heron in play. R.I.P. Sib.
