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 .
Marten eat mostly voles and miceâwhich in winter they capture in snow tunnelsâas well as squirrels and snowshoe hares. They also scavenge on deer and elk carcasses during winter and spring. In summer, this voracious predator actually dines on berries for part of its diet.
