California’s combined state files contain 229 Pacific Marten records: 141 from iNaturalist and 88 from GBIF. It ranks 131th among 243 mammals in this California record comparison, placing it in the middle third. That’s a ranking of submitted records, not a head count of animals.
The monthly series reaches its high point in August, with 14 records in the busiest month. Records appear in 12 of 12 months, so the pattern shows when sightings were documented, not when the species must be present or absent.
California accounts for about 11% of the mapped GBIF records summarized on the national Pacific Marten page. That’s a modest share of the known record footprint, though differences in survey effort can strongly shape the percentage.
