Title: Pine Marten attack! Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 12-Mar-13, 10:32:48 AM Whoa! No one seems to say where this little guy came from - they are usually shy and retiring critters, so one would wonder. Are there pine martens in North America? I have only once caught a brief glimpse here.

That said, where the devil did that critter come from?? Title: Re: Pine Marten attack! Post by: marytyson on 13-Mar-13, 01:01:44 PM I, too, recognized the music! It's "Yakety Sax" by Boots Randolph, from 1958. Been used for funny chases ever since.
