I was thrilled to return to Isle Royale to lead another team of women hikers on a Moosewatch Expedition.

My team has a rainy start to the week

This fox visited our first camp

Our second moose skull still had antlers attached!

It was an amazing week on this wild island. I'm honored to be a team leader for this citizen scientist-driven study.
