Hi All,

Last week, I noticed that the squirrels and chipmunks frequenting my bird
feeder disappeared completely, and have not yet made a reappearance.
Yesterday, I caught a glimpse of a larger than red squirrel sized animal
with a long, black bushy tail running along a mature hemlock tree branch on
my property. The lot is largely mature spruce, hemlock, and white pine.
Located in Carleton, Yarmouth County, it appears to be within or close to
the known range of Pine Marten in NS. Does anyone know if Pine Martens prey
on red squirrels? I can hear the occasional squirrel in the woods but none
are coming to the feeder.

Thanks,

John
