Bird feeder visitor

[Richard Flanders]

I can't help myself on this one. It was just too cool to not post. Fur prices are so low these days very few people are trapping and marten are turning up around our neighborhood here. This one has been digging up voles around my pad for a couple of weeks but I didn't recognize the tracks so didn't know who was doing that. Then yesterday this marten is suddenly on my bird feeder chowing down on pnut butter! I got him to leap the 12ft or so to the ground a couple of times but he just climbed back up the ladder I leave out there so I can tend to the feeder. How fun is that, eh?
