Great-Horned Owl - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Owl Vs. Weasel

By Spring Creek Ranch on February 10, 2011

Another great Winter wildlife safari today! Highlights included coyotes scavenging, moose browsing, sage grouse flocking and a porcupine roosting. This great-horned owl was serenely perched in a cottonwoood tree turning its head back and forth while studying us. Eventually, we noticed the most remarkable part of this sighting which was a long-tailed weasel clutched... Read More.

Big Bad Wolf

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 10, 2011

The last few safaris have been absolutely phenomenal with excellent sightings and interesting behaviors observed. This black wolf was seen in Grand Teton National Park along with a gray-colored wolf nearby and was one of many great animals seen. Other sightings included moose browsing on cottonwood trees, a young golden eagle attacking bighorn sheep,... Read More.

Tree Weasel

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 3, 2011

I was able to spend the last day of 2010 doing one of my favorite things…photographing a beautiful and relatively uncommon critter. Pine martens are one of the only local weasels that regularly spend time in trees (often pursuing red squirrels) and this individual put on a phenomenal show! We commonly encounter their unique...

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.

Yellowstone Wolves & Bears - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Wolves and Bears of Yellowstone

By Spring Creek Ranch on October 15, 2010

This month’s multi-day safaris have been excellent in terms of cooperative weather and cooperative wildlife. Our primary objective on these safaris is to see predators and we were able to watch several species of predators on each of these including gray wolves, grizzly bears, eagles, coyotes, weasels and black bears. During one evening, we... Read More.

Swainson’s Hawk

By Spring Creek Ranch on August 26, 2010

Along with large mammals, birds of prey seem to be a group of animals that most wildlife enthusiasts are strongly interested in. During Summer months, we often see five to six different species of raptors (birds of prey) and occasionally more on each safari. This Swainson’s Hawk allowed our safari vehicle to approach very...

Snake - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Our Most Common Reptile

By Spring Creek Ranch on August 1, 2010

Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks aren’t the best place to live for amphibians and reptiles, but we still see snakes occasionally and the garter snake is by far the most common snake here. This garter was spotted this morning near Wilson, Wyoming and can be seen “smelling” the surroundings with its tongue. The forked... Read More.

Great Gray Owl Chicks

By Spring Creek Ranch on June 16, 2010

This photograph pretty much tells the whole story of what we observed early this morning. Great gray owls are the biggest owl on the continent and are rare in most places. We in Jackson Hole are fortunate to see them often in this region, but this morning’s sighting of an adult owl landing next... Read More.
