Steller's Jay - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Steller Feathers

By Spring Creek Ranch on November 26, 2013

The vast majority of breeding birds have left Jackson Hole in search of warmer climates, but several birds including this Steller’s Jay will remain throughout the Winter. This image taken this morning shows the vibrant blue coloration of this jay’s wing and tail feathers and (simply by good luck) has a six-sided snow crystal... Read More.

Moose and Elk on the Move in Jackson Hole, WY - Spring Creek Ranch

Moose & Elk on the Move

By Spring Creek Ranch on April 16, 2013

It is a relatively quiet time in Jackson Hole in terms of people but one of the best times to view wildlife. Ground squirrels have finally emerged from their long hibernation, migratory birds such as bluebirds, cranes, red-tail and Swainson’s Hawks have returned and the large hoofed mammals are on the move toward their...

Jackson Hole Pronghorn - Spring Creek Ranch

The Jackson Hole Pronghorn Migration

By Spring Creek Ranch on October 30, 2012

One of the most unique animals within this ecosystem is the pronghorn (frequently called antelope) so it is appropriate that these animals engage in one of the most unique migrations in the entire continent. Jackson Hole’s population of pronghorn leave our valley each Fall moving south in the general direction of Pinedale, WY. Their... 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,...

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.

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.

Big Bad Wolf

Other sightings included moose browsing on cottonwood trees, a young golden eagle attacking bighorn sheep,... Read More.

Tree Weasel

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 3, 2011

I was able to spend the last day of 2010 doing one of my favorite things…photographing a beautiful and relatively uncommon critter. Pine martens are one of the only local weasels that regularly spend time in trees (often pursuing red squirrels) and this individual put on a phenomenal show! We commonly encounter their unique...
