This morning, Dr Cindy Staicer reported seeing an American marten while =
conducting a bird survey near North Cranberry Lake in Kejimkujik =
National Park.   She actually observed either two individuals or the =
same one twice at two different sites, but both located in the same =
area, a mature hemlock-dominated stand.   Marten observations in Keji =
remain relatively rare.

forests.   (I attempted to survey this site last week but high winds =
prevented a survey, and I was indebted to Cindy for volunteering to take =
