Some Food Habits of the Marten

Abstract

From an analysis of scats, the food habits of the marten were obtained in 3 habitats in Grand Teton National Park. Haw, Oregon grape, blueberry and rhamnus berries were important vegetable food items where available. Voles were the most prominent meat item in the diet. The red squirrel was rarely eaten, but its home was often used for lodging.
