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!

Today At the Beach
Posted: Thu, 17 Jul 2025

 The other Bald Eagle fledgling waiting for some nice nutrition to float by, scavenger-fashion. Not very spooky with me and the swimming dogs.

Missoula Community Access Television Kids, and started this Filmmaking Camp with the International Wildlife Film Festival in 1989, today the kids on the beach and at the van, major fun. Thanks MCAT and Scott Ranf! Our birds filmed for fun, all afternoon.

Tree Swallows
Posted: Wed, 09 Jul 2025

 A kestrel has been making the rounds at all of the swallow boxes and have seen him score. This box is right in the yard, a snapshot just now when I was hanging the laundry on the line.




Eager Beavers
Posted: Sun, 06 Jul 2025

The resident beavers are building another dam under our bridge across the slough, several attempts over the years. One time our dogs ripped the branches out with great relish every trip to the river, for some reason. This is just three days (nights) work! Before Tom built the bridge 23 or so years ago, a beaver dam was our access to the other side, washed out repeatedly.




Holy Pelicans!

Right over the Raptor Ranch.
