Thanks George
Great captures; are these similar to wolverines?
Thank you ... Martens are in the family Mustelidae. The mustelids include wolverines, fishers, martens, mink, weasels, skunk, badger, otters, and ferrets. There are a few lesser know species that may fall under the mustelid group, but that's up for a bit of debate. Anyway, if you do genetic comparisons, martens slot somewhere between ferrets and fishers.

Fantastic! Nice work.
Excellent!
"Luck" is when preparation and persistence meet!
Just fantastic!
Thank you very much
Thank you... love the quote, as it is so very true!
Thank you Steve... As you can imagine, I was very excited by the opportunity to see this species... photographing it with this type of clarity was a huge bonus for me!
Truly amazing images of a species I don't expect to ever see in the wild myself.
That final shot is worthy of the ID field guide!Thank you Steve... As you can imagine, I was very excited by the opportunity to see this species... photographing it with this type of clarity was a huge bonus for me!
Good things come to those that wait, lovely set of shots
Thank you... never say never. If you spend enough time outside, you'll be surprised by the things you may encounter.
Happy New Year.

Thanks... The last shot is almost the one I wanted. While I am an ecologist and consider myself a natural historian, I am always looking for something more than a "natural history shot." I was really hoping the little guy would give me a look w/ both eyes, but he only stood there for a millisecond... As we all know, wildlife are not models and you get what you get
Happy New Year,
bruce
Thank you Peter!

All things come to those who wait. Well done. You have much more patience than I do, but it was obviously worth the wait.
Well done Bruce, great shots -- patience and persistence are usually well rewarded!
Excellent - wow
Thanks Woody...
I was a field ecologist before becoming a biology teacher (now retired in both fields). I once spent 60 hours in a blind watching bird behavior with a colleague. We'd alternate every 4 to 6 hours. We couldn't leave the blind and slept in an elevated hide. It was near the arctic circle, so we barely slept due to the near continuous light.
My point... waiting 7 hours for an opportunity is nothing compared to the type of work I used to do
