Mule deer, one of the most iconic animals in western North America, are named for their large, mule-like ears. At this time of the year, many begin their long migration out of the Jackson Hole valley to better winter territories.

Mountain ash, pictured here, is an important food source for many species. Bears and birds eat the berries and moose like the tender shoots.

As days shorten, plants reduce their production of chlorophyll, allowing pigments like carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red and purple) to show through. Cooler nights and sunny days enhance the vibrant hues.

The federal government is considering removing grizzly bears from the Endangered Species Act which has sparked a debate over how to manage the population. Some support creating habitat corridors to connect isolated populations, while others prefer localized management, which could include limited hunting to control numbers.

Read more about the different opinions in this month’s edition of Nature News, available in our Story Highlights.

Elk rutting, or mating, season in Jackson Hole begins in September. Elk have begun their move down from higher mountain elevations to the valleys and meadows. Males will prove their power and status and try to impress females through their loud and distinctive bugle or mating call. Listen closely for it—the best time is at dusk—during your outdoor treks!

Keep your eyes peeled at this time of the year for caterpillars. This tussock moth feeds on hardwoods during the fall then overwinters in a cocoon. The tufts of hair on this caterpillar give it the common name of tussock. This caterpillar will turn into a tiger moth which is a drab color so not as eye-catching as this bright larval stage.
