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!
Falconhouse, Etc.Posted: Fri, 12 Sep 2025A snapshot today of the Falconhouse, our home and the warehouse of the neighbor's in the backdrop. Hopefully won't get 100 degrees in the new building any longer and have to move Sibley inside every afternoon, but we shall see. No shade and planted little pine trees all around that will help. Eventually.

2026 Calendar at the PrintersPosted: Tue, 09 Sep 2025The new 2026 Raptors of the Rockies Calendar and this will be the cover. Twelve months of photos, other birds and mammals this time! Burrowing owl mother and youngsters that nested in an old badger den, the Sapphire Mountains near-by. |

Love ThisPosted: Wed, 03 Sep 2025My artist friend Deborah Mitchell gave me this when I first started printmaking in 1989 and it hangs in the studio! Yep, that was an old pick-up line, remember?

Sorry For the Silence!Posted: Sat, 30 Aug 2025Yep. Had to buy a new computer (Mac mini) and monitor (Samsung Odessy OLED) after a terrifying day thinking I had lost everything on the 8 year-old iMac. We have TimeMachine, but whatever. So thanks to these suggestions of new systems and installation help from Fletcher at The Computer Guys in Missoula, back at it...mostly. Hopefully good for another 8 years now. And young Common Mergansers just now, a flotilla in all. They must fly upstream to float this stretch every day, 15 of them.

Brand Brand NewPosted: Wed, 20 Aug 2025Just finished this one, a drypoint etching and this time decided to paint the whole thing rather than roll in printing inks for the background. Instead used water soluble pastels, pencils and gouache paint. 12 x 16"
