Fisher, FISHER everywhere

I don't have a brilliant posting tonight, but I do have some pictures of "my" fisher that's been hanging in the backyard for the past 2 months. I don't know where he goes during the day, but I do know that he comes to our backyard almost everynight.

I have not baited this camera set. At my other set, which is about 50 feet downhill from this set, there are trout eggs, that had died at the hatchery I work at. They are stinky! But this fisher does spend considerable time hanging out in front of this camera on his own.

Disregard the time stamps- I recently changed batteries and forgot to reset the date and time.




 
Just LOOK at that tail! I would love to pet one...but probably never will. It truly fits the phrase of a "bottle brush" tail.


 
In this picture, the fisher is on the move...hence the blurriness. Without a flash, the camera can't "stop" the motion as well. Still, this picture is good enough for me to ID the animal, and that's all I really care about!

I hope everyone in the Northeastern states fares well this weekend. We are getting dumped on with snow storm "Nemo". I have nothing to do all weekend, so I love it! My pup will love to play in 2 feet of snow tomorrow morning.

Have a great weekend!

  1. Man I love looking at these fisher pictures! Also, since you call it "my" fisher, have you given it an unofficial name yet?

  2. Wow, great tail, are they ever caught, handled? or in a wild life enclosure? Hope all the areas fare well in the big dump, I looked on Wunderground and the forecast was dire!!Cheers from Jean

  3. They really are a beautiful animal, I have seen them occasionally in the past but sad to say I have never been able to get one on film. Thanks for sharing the very nice pics.
