Spring in Jackson Hole
By Spring Creek Ranch on May 10, 2009
Spring has been slow to arrive in Jackson Hole, but each day brings new signs of change. We are still a few weeks away from most of our wildlflowers blooming, but this sagebrush buttercup is out along with yellowbells. Recently returned migratory birds that we have been seeing on safaris include swainson’s hawks, kestrels,... Read More.

Spring is coming to Jackson Hole
By Spring Creek Ranch on April 8, 2009
We had several more “firsts” of Spring on yesterday’s safari including our first sighting of sandhill cranes, northern harriers, uinta ground squirrels and yellow-bellied marmots (pictured right). The marmots and ground squirrels are exciting to see this time of year since they have been tucked away in deep hibernation for several months. We watched... Read More.

By Spring Creek Ranch on March 25, 2009
Our local bighorn sheep herd came very close during this morning’s safari and I (mistakenly) thought that this was going to be the highlight of today’s excursion. We ended up seeing some fascinating coyote behavior throughout the morning including a pack of coyotes chase a mule deer at full sprint. We didn’t see the... Read More.

Eagles Soar
By Spring Creek Ranch on March 6, 2009
Today was a great day for viewing eagles. On this morning’s safari we saw at least 30 bald eagles, mostly adults with a few young eagles seen as well. One of the highlights was seeing a golden eagle dive on a pond filled with ducks. Soon after we actually saw two golden eagles mating,... Read More.
