I came across this pine marten (and a friend) just outside of Yellowstone National Park near the northeastern entrance in the town of Silver Gate, Montana. The two were chasing each other around in the snow by a wood pile and across a few fallen logs. They didn’t last long before scurrying back into the woods. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/800th of a second.
I was’t even sure of what a pine marten really was: so now I now! (It’s not a bird!!) His fur seems like it would keep him pretty cozy for t he winter too.

Wonderful photo of an animal that is not all that often seen.
