Wildlife Watching in Jackson Hole

By Jessica Zelenko on March 27, 2014

Most people live their whole lives with squirrels and pigeons as their surrounding wildlife. A trip to a national park like Grand Teton or Yellowstone is an opportunity to see wildlife that thus far has only existed in your imagination or on your TV. Visitors to Jackson Hole have the opportunity to see bear,... Read More.

Sage Grouse - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

The Bizarre Sage Grouse in April

By Spring Creek Ranch on April 22, 2011

This month is outstanding for wildlife watching in general, but one of the highlights is the unique courtship behavior by our local sage grouse. Males and females gather in specific areas called leks, and the males work very hard to impress the female grouse by prancing around, raising their sharp tail feathers, beating their wings and inflating...

Great Gray Owl - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson, WY

Great Sightings of Great Grays

By Spring Creek Ranch on March 16, 2011

The snowy weather throughout today seemed to contradict some of the Spring wildlife sightings that were taking place at the same time. Mountain bluebirds have made their return along with red-winged blackbirds and the largest bull elk have dropped the antlers that they worked so hard to grow last year. Each Spring, we hope...

Predatory Songbird - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Our Predatory Songbird

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 31, 2011

Predators have always held a certain fascination with wildlife enthusiasts and while we are often fortunate to see predatory behavior in action on safaris, the robin-sized northern shrike is an unlikely killer compared to its larger cousins. During Winter months, we frequently observe the subtle yet deadly shrike perched upon wires or posts while... Read More.

Raccoon - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Masked Mammal

By Spring Creek Ranch on December 1, 2010

Raccoons are not extremely common here in Jackson Hole so I was surprised to see this handsome critter in my yard the other night. Most trash containers in this area are bear-proof, so it wasn’t able to cause any trouble for us. Winter has arrived in full force and wildlife watching has been great.... Read More.

Bedded Elk Near Spring Creek Ranch

By Spring Creek Ranch on February 4, 2010

Spring Creek’s Derek Goodson Spots Some Elk Near the Resort Early afternoon, as I was winding down the road from Spring Creek Ranch, I spotted a bull elk bedded down in the trees.
