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.

Snipe - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Snipe Hunt

By Spring Creek Ranch on April 5, 2010

The “snipe hunt” has been a traditional practical joke on inexperienced campers and consequently has led to many thinking that a snipe is a fictional animal. It is very real but heard more often than seen so this snipe out in broad daylight was exciting to observe on today's safari. April is a wonderful... 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.

Fires in the Jackson Hole Valley

By Spring Creek Ranch on September 28, 2009

Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks both have wildfires currently burning. This has led to a bit of haze across the landscape during the day, but created some amazing sunsets. On one of our recent excursions up to Yellowstone, we were able to see the largest fire currently burning Arnica fire, which has grown... Read More.

Newborns in Grand Teton National Park

Early summer is an ideal time to see newborn animals and recent sightings have included young bison, pronghorn, owls and moose. This moose calf may have been just days old, but it lay calmly underneath its mother surrounded by Arnica wildlflowers. Bears have been cooperative on recent excursions and we have had regular sightings... Read More.
