Pine Marten 001

Nearly every other week we have a pine marten that comes through our yard. Sometimes it is during the night and only the tracks can be seen in the morning but at other times it will appear during daylight hours and I have an opportunity to take some photos.

Last week it came during the day when I was in the garage and had my camera with me. The pine marten was moving so fast I only got a couple of shots out the window but it was close enough to fill the entire lens. You can see our garage reflected in it's eye.

See how long their claws are. They are able to climb a tree faster than a squirrel, which is their main diet.
