The pine marten is omnivorous, with small mammals forming the major part of its diet, particularly in winter. It feeds on voles (Microtus agrestis) and other rodents, birds such as the treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) and capercaillie chicks (Tetrao urogallus), insects, frogs and carrion .
Nuts from the yellow and sugar pine trees were eaten, as were the seeds that came from the pine cones. The sea was an important source of food for both the Coast and Lake Miwok. They did not eat sea mammals, but did eat fish, eels, crabs, mussels and clams. Seaweed was gathered and dried. After being baked, it could be saved for eating later.
