Junior Zoologist Meets Owl

Allison, daughter of our pal Erick Greene, was just visiting and three year old son Robbie is fascinated by owls but had never seen one. Enter Simon and now Robbie can even hoot 'em up!

"Our" Residents

Christmas Eve Eagles!

Four adults in the nest tree. What's up with that?

Brian's Sketch in West

I had Buteo Books mail a copy of Birds of Prey of the West to author Brian Wheeler and look what he sketched on the title page! Aplomado? Yep! My favorite title of the last many years.

That View That Morning

Nico's Perch, Our Living Room

Sometimes my view of the eagle nest across the river is blocked by wildlife.

MTPR Yesterday, Hurray!

Nigel the Golden Eagle on Pea Green Boat, Montana Public Radio yesterday, what a pro, Annie in the control room! So proud of him, Sib the Peregrine and iPod the Pygmy-owl. Jingling of (falconry) bells, Merry Christmas.
You can hear it on Program archive -https://www.radiofreeamerica.com/schedule/kufm-1 - It's on December 20, 4 pm

Pea Green Boat Is Today

THURSDAY, made a typo on the Blog and Facebook.

MTPR Tomorrow

Check out our annual Holiday Show on Montana Public Radio tomorrow, THURSDAY the 20th! Host Annie Garde and I will spin some tales and ring some bells for Christmas on the Pea Green Boat childrens' programming from 4 until 5 pm MST. Like they say (okay, The Replacements), "left of the dial" and in Missoula 89.1 FM and steaming live across the planet earth at mtpr.org - click the button at the top.  Joining us will be Sibley the Peregrine, seen staring at Annie through the glass here, plus iPod the Pygmy-owl and Nigel the Golden Eagle. Crowded studio tomorrow, what fun.

Just Now

Looking out the window in the living room, Bald Eagle above the nest. Then eggs in March?!

Zero Degrees

When it gets really cold, birds in the house and - Sonora, Sib, iPod and sometimes Owen. Tom informed me, "Zero degrees is nothing."

New Books!

These are the finest books I have seen in many years, and Brian Wheeler has taken field guides for raptorphiles to a different realm. I made this flier and suggest that you purchase copies at Buteo Books https://www.buteobooks.com. I have never seen such detail, new science, and passion in any titles. A must-have and WOW! Thanks Brian.

Photography Show

Cool, twenty-five mostly new photos at Blacksmith Brewing, downtown Stevensville and thanks so much to Cathy and Jimmy Scholtens for helping me install. And Sonora the Aplomado in the first photo, helping me box 'em up, standing on the bookshelf door.
