Description
American Pine marten hunting on Opeongo Rd in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. Taken in Late March, 2019. It kept finding something it liked buried in the snow, and also chased after & very nearly caught several squirrels.
A few seconds after this picture was taken, it took off after a squirrel that had strayed dangerously close to the marten. The squirrel got away that time! Martens are very fast & agile, spend most of their time in trees but almost always take their prey on the ground.
