A short trip to the Gunflint Trail and Saz-Zim Bog. Highlights were Short-tailed Weasel and American Marten.

I am a mammal watcher in my 40’s based in the United States. I have been working on my mammal list since 2003. My travels tend to be longer and budget/mid range in cost. I am also interested in other wildlife, particularly birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and cephalopods. My curse animal is the Star-nosed Mole. They are in the yard I grew up in, and still spend time in, but I have yet to see one. I travel a lot for work, some of which is working with mammals. I normally work the eastern endangered bat presence/absence season, as well as occasionally getting to do some spotlight surveys. My wife also enjoys wildlife watching.
