And While I'm Sharing...

Another winter visitor, but much more welcome. This marten I found bounding around joyously in the yard one morning and just caught this one shot. It was around each morning for a week or two, before I startled it coming out of the house heading to work. It will help protect me from red squirrel.

Great pic GT! Beautiful creature living his life in such harsh conditions.......will it catch red squirrels?

I'm proud of this one, what a lovely creature. Thank you Janey. It does eat squirrel as well as small birds and eggs. I already have neighboring squirrels feuding at my birdfeeder. Reds are territorial and noisy, really a nuisance. And with a birdfeeder, I have the danger of one claiming my house as his.

HA! I startled it, as I was coming out of the house leaving for work. It was just hiding under the car I was approaching. I hope I see it again. :-)

Thank you. Haven't seen it yet, but all these sightings were in feb-march. Probably more likely to catch it around again then.
