Newborn Mammals

By Spring Creek Ranch on June 15, 2011

One of the packages that we are currently promoting here at Spring Creek Ranch focuses on the fact that June and July is a wonderful time of year to see wild newborn animals. Appropriately, our safaris have had excellent sightings of these particularly cute critters during the past couple of weeks. Each of the... Read More.

Wolf & Bear Safari

By Spring Creek Ranch on May 24, 2011

Last week’s wolf and bear safari was an extremely successful weekend of wildlife watching throughout Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. We were able to find many grizzly bears, black bears and a solitary gray wolf. Although these predators were the focus of this excursion, we also had great sightings of bighorn sheep, moose,...

Yellowstone National Park -- Jackson Hole, WY

Yellowstone Opens

By Spring Creek Ranch on May 4, 2011

Friday was our first Yellowstone National Park excursion of the year as the South Gate opened for business. It was an extraordinary day with great geyser and wildlife sightings. We were lucky enough to watch eruptions of Old Faithful, Beehive and Grand geysers; all beautiful and unique in their own way. One of the highlights of... Read More.

An American Raptor

By Spring Creek Ranch on May 3, 2011

I am always thinking about the relationships between humans and wildlife, and ended up thinking about patriotism as a result of seeing these American kestrels on today’s safari. Most of us would associate the bald eagle with the U.S.A. since it is our national symbol and they do look really cool and majestic. Nonetheless,... 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...

Moose - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Winter Storm & Moose

By Spring Creek Ranch on March 6, 2011

Today’s excursion was a classic winter wildlife safari here in Jackson Hole with sightings of bighorn sheep, many bald eagles, coyotes, mule deer and thousands of elk. Our local wildlife is very well equipped to deal with snowy days such as today, as this moose photograph suggests. The snow landing on the fur of... Read More.

Regal Eagle in Jackson Hole, WY - Spring Creek Ranch

Regal (Reagle?)

By Spring Creek Ranch on March 1, 2011

Wildlife watching began early on today’s safari since we encountered a red fox hunting within about a minute. This fox has been seen frequently around Spring Creek Ranch lately, taking advantage of the vast undeveloped land within this property. Another highlight came toward the end of the safari when we found this bald eagle... Read More.

Boreal Owl

By Spring Creek Ranch on February 20, 2011

Lots of interesting wildlife sightings on today’s safari including a shy porcupine perched cryptically in a cottonwood tree. These large rodents are fascinating and their unique ability to discourage most predators from bothering them thanks to their thousands of protective quills. After a full day of wildlife watching, I returned home to find this... Read More.

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.
