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...

Heli-Skiing in Jackson At Its Best

By Spring Creek Ranch on December 10, 2010

Heli skiing in the Tetons could very well be one of the most astonishing thrills a powder hound will ever experience! One of the hallmarks of a winter trip to Spring Creek Ranch is a heli-ski adventure with the folks from High Mountain Heli Skiing. What could be better than coveted “face shots” on... Read More.

Raccoon - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Masked Mammal

By Spring Creek Ranch on December 1, 2010

Raccoons are not extremely common here in Jackson Hole so I was surprised to see this handsome critter in my yard the other night. Most trash containers in this area are bear-proof, so it wasn’t able to cause any trouble for us. Winter has arrived in full force and wildlife watching has been great.... Read More.

Yellowstone Wolves & Bears - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Wolves and Bears of Yellowstone

By Spring Creek Ranch on October 15, 2010

This month’s multi-day safaris have been excellent in terms of cooperative weather and cooperative wildlife. Our primary objective on these safaris is to see predators and we were able to watch several species of predators on each of these including gray wolves, grizzly bears, eagles, coyotes, weasels and black bears. During one evening, we... Read More.

Swainson’s Hawk

By Spring Creek Ranch on August 26, 2010

Along with large mammals, birds of prey seem to be a group of animals that most wildlife enthusiasts are strongly interested in. During Summer months, we often see five to six different species of raptors (birds of prey) and occasionally more on each safari. This Swainson’s Hawk allowed our safari vehicle to approach very...

Great Gray Owl Chicks

By Spring Creek Ranch on June 16, 2010

This photograph pretty much tells the whole story of what we observed early this morning. Great gray owls are the biggest owl on the continent and are rare in most places. We in Jackson Hole are fortunate to see them often in this region, but this morning’s sighting of an adult owl landing next... 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.

Osprey - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

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.

Snipe - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Snipe Hunt

By Spring Creek Ranch on April 5, 2010

The “snipe hunt” has been a traditional practical joke on inexperienced campers and consequently has led to many thinking that a snipe is a fictional animal. It is very real but heard more often than seen so this snipe out in broad daylight was exciting to observe on today's safari. April is a wonderful... Read More.
