Wildlife ecologist, photographer, camera trapper, and certified tracker with a primary focus of studying martens and fishers. No baits or lures used.

After 5 weeks of near misses or simply zero activi After 5 weeks of near misses or simply zero activity, my most recently deployed camera trap captured a marten! This beautiful little fella stood here for just a couple seconds, just long enough to trigger my camera, before scampering off.

Notice how much darker this individual is compared to the photos of martens I posted before. This is what a marten's summer coat looks like: uniformly dark brown with a bright orange throat blaze.

I want you all to take a close look around the marten's eye. Notice the brown fur. This marten is beginning to transition from its winter coat to its summer coat.

Amidst the tangle of a marten's home, there are sp Amidst the tangle of a marten's home, there are special sites where they communicate. While nearly always solitary, martens use chemical cues, through scent marking, to communicate with their neighbors. From my experience, males mark the most, or perhaps it is easiest to identify how males are marking. Pictured in the second image, you can see how this male rubs the scent glands around his groin across the log, and across the scat that a marten left over a month ago.

It's been two weeks now since a bear last came thr It's been two weeks now since a bear last came through my camera trap. Since then, I moved my camera setup into a tree to make it more annoying for the bears to access and to try to photograph them back-rubbing. During this lull in the bear activity, a bobcat and moose passed through though.

This is my first time setting my camera off the ground, and after seeing the shots of the bobcat, I think I'll play around with sets like this in the future. I like how much more the bobcat seems to be one with its surroundings. Much to learn though!

For now, I hope you enjoy seeing how drastically smaller bobcats are to moose!
