Landscape Photography in the Tetons

By Spring Creek Ranch on June 23, 2011

Jackson Hole is famous across the planet as one of the best locations for wildlife and landscape photography. Our naturalist programs make the most of this by offering photo safaris twice per week throughout the year. This week, we explored Grand Teton National Park with cameras, tripods and lenses to find historic barns, abundant... 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...

Tonight’s moon is waning but will be along side Saturn to the east in early evening hours.

Common Goldeneye - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Goldeneye (Nothing to do with James Bond, 007)

By Spring Creek Ranch on February 8, 2010

The word “common” can be misleading when it comes to wildlife names. This vibrant duck seen on yesterday’s safari is a good example of this, as its name is “Common Goldeneye,” but is fairly unusual here in Jackson Hole. The Barrow’s Goldeneye is much more typically seen, so this was a fun addition to... Read More.

Winter Wildlife Escape

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 27, 2010

Each of our wildlife safari excursions offers unique wildlife sightings and today’s full-day trip was no exception. The vast majority of raptors (birds of prey) have migrated South of Jackson Hole, but we were able to view four species of raptors throughout the day. Northern Harriers and Red-tailed hawks are unusual to view in... Read More.

The Geysers of Yellowstone

By Spring Creek Ranch on September 18, 2009

On a typical Yellowstone National Park excursion we are able to see several geysers erupt throughout the day, but on this week’s trip we were able to observe a total of five. During our day, we watched Old Faithful, Beehive, Lion, Great Fountain and Clepsydra erupt. Our wildlife sightings have also been consistently strong... Read More.
