Pine marten in my yard
We put our gingerbread house on the back deck for critters to eat, and this pine marten hopped up to it today. We live in Duluth, not far from Hartley Field.
Now I'm thinking I should scrape off all the candy.

It could be interesting to see what a pine marten on a sugar buzz is like...

So cute ... so blood-thirsty.
Would you rather:
Spend 10 minutes in a closet full of angry hornets OR
1 minute in a closet with that sugar-buzzed pine marten?

Oh, and adam: The pine marten's your friend. Make friends with the pine marten. The pine marten's your friend. Make friends with the pine marten.

This makes me almost as happy as the cougar confirmation photo from not so long ago!
Be careful, however, Beverly, pine martens aren't known for their friendly ways. Even if they knock. :) Oh gauntlet, btw!
