Our naturalist programs make the most of this by offering photo safaris twice per week throughout the year.

Newborn Mammals
By Spring Creek Ranch on June 15, 2011

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.

Elite Winter Predator
By Spring Creek Ranch on January 18, 2011
One of the coolest wildlife behaviors to see during Winter months is a red fox stalking and diving after its prey and today we had the good fortune to witness (and photograph) this on our safari. The fox begins by walking carefully on the packed snow so as to not alert rodents underneath. Once... Read More.

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.

Colorful (and Curious) Western Tanagers
By Spring Creek Ranch on June 1, 2010
Tanagers are little flying jewels and they have returned to Jackson Hole in great numbers this Spring. This brilliantly colored male seemed fascinated by my camera lens and stared so intently at it, I wondered if he was seeing his own reflection in the glass. Read More.

Red Foxes Make Excellent Parents!
By Spring Creek Ranch on May 31, 2010
A family of red foxes has denned just outside Grand Teton National Park and consists of two parents and five kits. The parents are working full time to feed their hungry offspring and this image shows how one of today’s hunting expeditions was very successful. The young kits went crazy when this adult returned...

Returning Migrants
By Spring Creek Ranch on April 28, 2010
Ospreys are back in Jackson Hole and almost every osprey nest along the Snake River is occupied with a pair. The bald eagle nest on Spring Creek Ranch had a late start but our local eagles are on the nest and we’ll remain hopeful that they have a successful nest this year. Other birds... Read More.
