Pine Marten Photos....
 

Was lucky enough the other day to come across a Pine Marten while out looking for things to photograph. He was very curious which allowed me quite a few shots. I'm sure there are a number of people on here that have seen one in the wild, but decided to post a few, for those of us that never have!

Great shots. Looks like you got a willing model for sticking around and giving you a few great poses that you captured really well. Very Nice and thanks for posting these.

Excellent pics.

Great pics!
Such a patient subject all I usually see is the backend disappearing in the forest

Those are amazing!!

I have seen a few in the bush, but had zero opportunities to photograph one.
I am soooooo jealous.

Amazing shots BTW

Nice dark marten, should go over $100 when boarded, opps was suppose to appreciate the beauty of the little $100 bill.

I just showed the wife these pics,
She wants a Pine Martin,

Carcass is free. 100 bones skin on tell her...😂

Those photos are amazing! Thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing.

Great pictures ! Thank you for posting / sharing them

Those are beautiful shots... thanks for sharing

Very nice pics and sometimes you just don't appreciate how good looking they are cuz they are usually a blur and disappear.

Amazing pics!

I've always wondered how critters like that keep their fur so clean in an environment dripping with tree sap.

Cute little guy. If anyone has a breeding pair drop them off in High River. The squirrel population is out of control and the car tires are just not putting enough pressure on their population.

X3 on the pictures. Stunning clarity and quality. Thank you.

Simply said...eyecandy. What kind of camera?

Nice shots. Sure cute little animal. Was out hunting by Grande Cache 20 years ago. Walking for couple hours. Stopped for a drink of water. Little Martin came out of old deadfall. Was chirping at me to leave. Must have had some little ones nearby. I continued on. :sHa_shakeshout:

Beautiful shots

Only saw one on the run on the trapline, one at a good course and that’s it

Very lucky to get one staying still.

Just seeing pics like that, make my day!

I'm shooting a Nikon D7500 DSLR and the lens is the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6

Thanks for the kind words, I'm just excited to be able find one and get a few pics.

Very nice pics! Thanks for sharing!!
