Common Goldeneye - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Goldeneye (Nothing to do with James Bond, 007)

By Spring Creek Ranch on February 8, 2010

The word “common” can be misleading when it comes to wildlife names. This vibrant duck seen on yesterday’s safari is a good example of this, as its name is “Common Goldeneye,” but is fairly unusual here in Jackson Hole. The Barrow’s Goldeneye is much more typically seen, so this was a fun addition to... Read More.

Bedded Elk Near Spring Creek Ranch

By Spring Creek Ranch on February 4, 2010

Spring Creek’s Derek Goodson Spots Some Elk Near the Resort Early afternoon, as I was winding down the road from Spring Creek Ranch, I spotted a bull elk bedded down in the trees. While elk are plentiful in the Jackson Hole, finding them bedded in the trees is not that common mostly because they... Read More.

Naked Bull Moose

By Spring Creek Ranch on February 2, 2010

Once bull moose shed their antlers, they always look a little like they aren’t wearing clothes anymore (or like a female moose.) Almost all of the bull moose have shed their antlers, but there are one or two small bulls that are still carrying their mini-antlers around proudly. This image was taken on yesterday’s...

The Other Side of The Tetons – Grand Targhee Resort Powder Paradise

By Spring Creek Ranch on February 1, 2010

Yesterday, a few friends and I decided to drive over Teton Pass to ski at Grand Targhee Resort in Alta, Wyoming. It takes about an hour and a half to get to Grand Targhee from Spring Creek Ranch, but with beautiful scenery the entire way. There are great inexpensive shuttle options if you do... Read More.

Jackson Hole Bull Market

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 29, 2010

Spring Creek Ranch in Jackson Hole is experiencing a bull market–bull elk that is. The Amangani General Manager took this photo of four bulls just off the side of the main access road. A couple more are just out of the picture. The conditions are just right for them to forage and wander around... Read More.

A Visit from Mildred – A Jackson Hole Local

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 27, 2010

Kathi Davis Captures Her Nosy Neighbor While enjoying my cup of coffee this morning my neighbor Mildred (see right) stopped over to say hi! Mildred can be a little intrusive, just coming up on the porch and peering through the windows, she knows she is always welcome. Although human food isn’t on her diet,... Read More.

Spring Creek Ranch Wildlife Refuge

By Spring Creek Ranch on January 26, 2010

After several days of snow, the wildlife of Jackson Hole were on the move this morning. As I wound my way to Spring Creek Ranch this morning, the moose, elk and mule deer were all foraging along the side of the road paying little attention to passers-by. Usually the mule deer bucks stay hidden,... Read More.
