Abstract
An individual Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus), observed to evade capt ure by an American Marten (Martes americana), was subsequently attacke d by a Northern Raven (Corvus cornu). To my knowledge, this represents the first observation of attempted predation on an apparently healthy Snowshoe Hare by a Northern Raven.
