long-billed curlew - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Long-billed Curlew and Much More

By Spring Creek Ranch on March 7, 2010

In the past few days we have literally seen thousands of animals on our safaris. Many of these were elk and bison migrating North, but we also were able to see many moose, deer, bighorn sheep and bison. This morning we had a nice view of a newborn bison which looked absolutely tiny next to its mother.... 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.

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 25, 2010

Our wildlife safaris are offered year-round and I keep a log of sightings from every trip that we have ever done with an approximate count for each species.

Porcupine - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Never a Dull Moment!

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 2, 2010

Every wildlife safari offers both expected and surprising sightings. Today we were fortunate to watch a golden eagle perched near a group of rocky mountain bighorn sheep. After scowling at us for 20 minutes, this enormous predator flew off demonstrating its impressive agility and majestic presence. After sightings of coyote, elk, moose and mule... 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.

Lighthing Storm in Jackson Hole

By Spring Creek Ranch on August 4, 2009

Sitting almost 1,000 feet above the valley floor of Jackson Hole, we were right in the middle of this storm and were able to... Read More.
