Pine Martin

I just walked down my steps to my house and had to stop mid stride. Walking across my deck was a very large Mink, or Pine Martin, or whatever they are..
I have not seen this one before. It simply looked at me, and walked off the deck into the woods. Sorry no camera in hand and the front porch light was off. But wow, talk about startling me. At first I thought it was a large black squirrel, but after I got a look at it, I'm pretty sure it was a Pine Martin. It was very dark brown or black in color.
Good to know the wildlife is still around I guess. I'll have to warn my wife. I'll try to get a picture if it shows up again. Maybe I'll set my game camera again now that it is warmer.

You can see why
