We saw a red fox with a red squirrel in its mouth on top of the ridge. Then, a marten appeared, stole the squirrel, and chased the fox. The marten went in and out of the den at the top of the bank several times. I've never heard of a marten before. We looked it up in the "Peterson guide" to mammals. It had dark fur and large paws for an animal its size. Warm night on Friday, mid-sixties during the day.
