𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬!
I’m about to release a new guide to animal tracks—one that’s designed to be practical, durable, and incredibly useful on your next adventure. It’s a hands-on, life-sized reference that includes every track featured in my field guide Wildlife of the Pacific Northwest—and track illustrations from three species not in the field guide! What makes it unique:
🐾𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞-𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬: Perfect for quick, accurate identification in the field.
🐾𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 & 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟: Built to withstand the elements, because tracking doesn't stop when the rain starts!
🐾𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞: Every track from the Wildlife of the Pacific Northwest guide, plus new, bonus tracks to explore.
Whether you’re a dedicated tracker or just curious about the animals you share the landscape with, this guide will be your companion in the field. It’s built for real-world use: easy to carry, easy to read, and ready for any weather. Perfect for outdoor educators looking for a visual resource for field instruction and hands-on student engagement.
The 𝐩𝐫𝐞-𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐰 (only available in the US - 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔). If you’re interested in getting your hands on one head over to my new online store - link in linktree
🌊“Rivers are constantly changing, but like many natural systems around the globe, this river system is in the process of profound evolution once again—driven by human culture.” — David Moskowitz, from the introduction of Big River
📸Through photographs and stories from his travels across the vast Columbia River watershed, David Moskowitz will take us on a journey exploring what “Renewal” looks like today for fish, wildlife, people, and landscapes.
🐟From salmon streams restored, cultural practices recovered, agricultural practices remade, and visions for electrical power transformed, change is under way in how we understand and care for a river system which is so vital to the lives of so many.

🌊“The idea of a river might conjure an image of a fairly predictable linear flow of water down an existing course. A river’s watershed, however, is another thing entirely. It encompasses myriad hydrological, ecological, geological and cultural processes, activities and characters, all going about their business simultaneously in frenetic spasms of interaction” — David Moskowitz, award-winning photographer, author, wildlife biologist, and tracker

Even as national headlines proclaim doom, the human spirit of ingenuity, compassion, and respectful relations is flourishing in communities throughout the watershed, often inspired by the river herself and the other living creatures whom we share the world with. 🌎

We are thrilled to feature Big River in our upcoming traveling exhibit!
Big River, a Braided River title that launched in 2024, explores the massive and diverse Columbia River basin through exquisite photography by David Moskowitz and narrative by Elieen Delehanty Pearkes.
We are excited to give this campaign new life, highlighting the watershed’s ecological, cultural, and economic value through a multimedia traveling exhibit in partnership with American Rivers.
Stay tuned to find out where the Big River exhibit will be headed first! Photos by @moskowitz_david .

Meet the Keller wolf pack pups!
As part of an ongoing project to document the wildlife restoration and management efforts of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation I went with Rose Piccinini, wildlife biologist to survey a wolf (Canis lupus) den in north central Washington.
Last year was a diverse year for me as far as photography goes! This was one of my favorite images of the year. To see more of my favorite images from 2025 as well as more stories behind the images, join my Patreon community. Link in linktree
The morning after the atmospheric river that dissolved our snowpack and many roads in the process here on the east slope of the North Cascades. Methow River running like its late May in predawn moonlight. Amazing to watch climate change unfold before our eyes.
Last winter we took a small film crew from NBC's Wild Kingdom out to a camera trap location for an episode they were filming about wolverines.
The episode we are in will air on November 29th!
Check out when it airs locally here.

This summer I spent two weeks canoeing down the Spatsizi and Stikine rivers in Northwestern British Columbia. We saw no other humans but tons of tracks along the river. I’ve put together a fun tracking quiz of some of the tracks we found.
Tʀʏ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴀɴᴅ ᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ qᴜɪᴢ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍᴀʏʙᴇ ᴡɪɴ ᴀ ᴘʀɪᴢᴇ﹗
Head over to my Patreon community to take the quiz (link in linktree and below) – you don't need to be a member to see it. All the folks that get the answers right will be put into a draw to win an 8 x 10 print of wolf pups.
Answers and the winner of the draw will be announced on 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝐬𝐭 on Patreon and Instagram.
Happy tracking!

Both wolverines and glaciers depend on snow. Last month during our third flight with @lighthawk_org on a quest to document North Cascades wolverine habitat during the driest part of the year, we gained a birds eye view of dry glaciers and bare rock. Very little snow was retained over the summer. These stunning impacts of climate change speak to the changes in the alpine ecosystem impacting wolverines and glaciers alike.
1. The Silver Star Glacier on Silver Star Peak is “dry” - all of the overlying snow has melted off leaving the ice beneath exposed. Glaciers in this condition are functionally dying in that they are no longer creating new ice and are instead losing their mass.
2. The dry Pika and Butterfly glaciers in the Glacier Peak wilderness
3. The ablating base of the Dusty glacier on the east side of Glacier Peak.
