Winter is coming to Jackson Hole

By Spring Creek Ranch on October 12, 2009

Weather here in October is reliably unpredictable, but we still managed to find amazing wildlife during this past weekend’s multi-day safari. We spent over an hour watching this sow black bear and her two cubs enthusiastically forage for berries. The falling snow added a nice backdrop to all of the wildlife and the wintery... Read More.

Bison Rut - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Bison Rut in Grand Teton National Park

By Spring Creek Ranch on August 28, 2009

For me, the best part about wildlife watching in August is the bison rut. During this time of year the males aggressively court the females and are focused on either intimidating other males or finding love with the bison ladies. One of their strategies for impressing females is to wallow in dusty areas. This... Read More.

Lighthing Storm in Jackson Hole

By Spring Creek Ranch on August 4, 2009

Shortly after returning to Spring Creek Ranch after a successful wildlife-watching safari, an incredible thunderstorm rolled across the valley and provided spectacular views of intense clouds and constant lighting strikes.

northern harrier - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Dawn Wildlife Safaris

By Spring Creek Ranch on July 9, 2009

We had many highlights from yesterday’s dawn safari including newborn moose, bison and pronghorn. It also turned into an excellent morning for birds of prey. This northern harrier was hunting near us and didn’t seem as interested in us as we were in it. We were also able to see Swainson’s hawks, red-tailed hawks,... Read More.

Thanks to an abundance of winter snow this year, we are currently enjoying wonderful spring wildflowers such as balsamroot, spring beauty, arnica, yellow violet, larkspur, yellowbell and Oregon grape. Bird... Read More.

We saw both grizzly bears as well as black bears during this multi-day expedition but other... Read More.
