Episode Details

Interior Alaska experiences a marten population boom, with increased sightings and catches reported near the Cosna River and Fairbanks. Biologists attribute this to a surge in vole populations, which are the primary food source for martens. Locals are excited about the action, with martens frequently visiting homes and being spotted in various areas. Martens, members of the weasel family, are known for their fearlessness and solitary nature, roaming conifer forests and using hollow logs for dens. This is an ideal time to observe martens before spring, as females mate in summer but delay implantation until longer days trigger birth in late March or early April.
