The September newsletter also featured a number of my images from this project as well. Check out all their newsletters at http://www.conservationnw.org/library/newsletter. Great articles which do a great job of highlighting the importance of apex carnivores and the need for maintaining connected landscapes across the Pacific Northwest.

Update #19: A few more puppy shots that won't show up on my public blog
Doug Brown and I walked in on a rendezvous site while scouting for salmon in a nearby stream. We spent all morning listening to wolves howl before stalking out to avoid the incoming tide.
1083 A wolf pup splashes across a shallow stream
1128 Pups playing in high grass
1277 Adult wolf (mom?) with pups milling about.
Update #18: Great Bear Rainforest
I arrived yesterday in Bella Bella where I am being hosted by the Raincoast Conservation Foundation. The salmon are massing at the mouths of rivers and streams and on our first day out we found the remains of one salmon that had been consumed by a bear. We also found lots of other grizzly bear sign and spotted two wolves patrolling the shores of seperate islands this morning.
I will be posting regular updates to my blog. Check it out at: http://davidmoskowitz.blogspot.com/. You can subscribe to the blog if you want regular updates over the next three weeks I will be up here.
Update #17: And some more photos!
Just wrapped up a week and a half on Vancouver Island. Awesome. Now off to the Cascades to hunt for what will likely be slightly more elusive wolves.
