    Had a Pine Marten at the bird feeders today. Pretty cool to see for such a long period of time. They are fascinating creatures for sure!

    The video image is actually reversed. I'm using my point and shoot, but shooting through a telescope. Works like a 1000x lens or more :tu:

    Now that's some cool shots there Fitz of a neat critter. :tu: I've only ever seen one in the wild before. We have more fishers around here then martins. At least I've seen more of them anyway.

    We have a ton of fisher too. No badgers though, they can't dig through 2 billion year old Greenstone... go figure.
    Of course we have mink, and short-tail, long-tail, and least weasels too.
