Happy day to all! One of my favorite visitors, the Pine Marten! I love their high energy level. They have a high metabolic rate, and semi- retractable claws. They are excellent swimmers, and are able to rotate their ankles 180 degrees!

A nice poem that I found by Kath Drew:
Copper fox on the run, is it food or is it fun?
Nightly searching far and wide, head and body full of pride.
Nocturnal hunting almost done, home before the morning sun.

33 degrees fahrenheit this morning here in the north country. Spotted some Pine Marten scat upon a rotting log. We normally see them in the cooler months.
