We saw this Marten in the trees near our yurt.It had been -28 c for days before we arrived and I think he was looking for food at the site.
These photos are a bit of a blur...wow...can this little guy run fast! No way was he going to pose for a photo shoot. They feed on squirrels, mice, birds and rabbits...so they need to be quick.
I found the marten crunching loudly on something, so he stood still for a moment, he took off when I tried to get closer, it's hard to sneak quietly through the woods in 3 feet of snow.

you folk are more rugged than anything Hastings Ave can dish out
Cool, I want a yurt! I'm amazed that you got close enough to take such great pictures of a martin.
These are amazing photos. I have found little footprints occasionally but I have never seen a marten.
