I spent a great day Thursday in Algonquin Park specifically to photograph this species. They did not disappoint, with three seen at the same location - at times all at the same time. Well worth the six hour drive (3 hours each way). So photogenic, and they put on quite a show! Here is my first processed image from the day trip...a classic Pine Marten in a Pine pose.
Canon 7D + 100-400L @260mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/200s., f/6.3, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, FF, three very thin bright oof branches removed, and a couple of bright spots in the BG eliminated, NR to the BG.

This is the first time I hear about this species and would love to know more about them. Yes, I shall ask Mr Google, but at the same time I just hope you have more images to share:)
Lovely image with beautiful colours, superb eye contact, perfect composition Daniel! Love the BG and the subject so pretty on his "perch"...amazingly sharp for 1/200s, you must have such a steady hand
Always a pleasure to view your images -thank you!!!
Hi Daniel, these are/can be very elusive over here, would love to photograph these subjects, very partial to strawberry jam sandwiches I gather, LOL.
Very well framed, great composition utilising the vertical of the main tree and the branch supporting the subject, as he/she precariously balances. Nice eye contact with the viewer and that 'curious' look, just leaves you wanting more!!!!
This is a fantastic image. I love the textures and detail. The pose is priceless and the way you have framed the image comprise is spot on.
Lovely stuff Daniel!
