The pine marten (I think I'm sure this time) was out again during early October. He was curious about what I was, but not very afraid, knowing that he was safe in this birch tree.
I like this picture because you can see how big his feet are. Maybe he is the reason that there aren't any squirrels around this year? It sure would be nice not to have the "squirrel alarm" going off every 5 minutes this year.
This was a live tree... I put my trail camera here for three weeks just after this rub was made, but the deer never came back. I wish the camera could have taken a picture of the monster that did this damage, but I guess I can wait til next weekend to meet him- I think I'll know him when I see him.
