Moose Calf Checks In

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 18, 2010

Two moose were exploring the area by Spring Creek Ranch’s horse corral this afternoon browsing on shrubs and eating snow. The corrals are very close to our reception building so these moose could actually be seen from our lobby! This calf was most likely born last May and will spend another few months with...

A Natural Halo

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 10, 2010

Cold temperatures and ice crystals in the air provided conditions for an atmospheric phenomena referred to as a halo or sundog this morning. This image was taken at about 9,000 feet in the Tetons at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Read More.

Never a Dull Moment!

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 2, 2010

Every wildlife safari offers both expected and surprising sightings. Today we were fortunate to watch a golden eagle perched near a group of rocky mountain bighorn sheep. After scowling at us for 20 minutes, this enormous predator flew off demonstrating its impressive agility and majestic presence. After sightings of coyote, elk, moose and mule... Read More.

A Highlight of Our Winter Wildlife

By Spring Creek Ranch on December 19, 2009

Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep spend summers at relatively high elevations and require some effort for us to find them during warmer months. Fortunately, this is not the case during Winter as we are able to observe bighorns consistently (usually very close.) These agile ungulates are spectacular to watch navigate steep cliffs and seem most... Read More.

Rough-Legged Hawks Return for Winter Months

By Spring Creek Ranch on December 8, 2009

Much of our birdlife has migrated away this time of year, but rough-legged hawks migrate to Jackson Hole from Arctic regions. We have been observing these raptors on our safaris for over a month and can expect to see them regularly through most of the winter. Elk haven’t returned to the National Elk Refuge... Read More.

Bull Moose in Grand Teton National Park

By Spring Creek Ranch on November 13, 2009

Animals are on the move in Jackson Hole as some species migrate away and others make smaller migrations within the valley. Many of our moose have moved away from rivers and ponds to browse on shrubs within open sagebrush habitat. This makes them easier to find this time of year and this bull foraged... Read More.

Winter Birds

By Spring Creek Ranch on April 6, 2009
