American martens carry a NatureServe S3 vulnerable rank in New York, confined almost entirely to the boreal forest of the Adirondacks, which alone accounts for 16 of the state’s 58 records, more than a quarter of the total. Most sightings come from iNaturalist (49 of 58), suggesting casual encounters, not survey work, document much of what’s known about this forest-dependent mustelid here.
Records stay fairly steady across the year, one to seven sightings per month, with no single dominant peak, a pattern consistent with a species that’s active year-round in remote wilderness rather than concentrating visibly during one narrow season.
