Fisher

Alice I think you're right. The weather has been below normal for quite a while and there's almost 3 feet of snow on the ground. Finding food must be tough.

I think the animals get desperate when the cold goes so long and will eat almost anything, a little like my possum.

Thanks for the nice comment António.

Another awesome capture Tom,congrats on the SOTD and thanks for sharing

Thanks Mark. It's surprising what shows up in the backyard at night. I'm still hoping for a bobcat:-)

Fabulous spotting. Good looking animal.

Thanks Ashley, kdpicturemaker and Reza. I'm in the southernmost part of its range, and am always thrilled to see one.

Congratulations !

Nice one Tom15. It's an unusual & interesting looking animal.

Congrats Tom! Such a cool mammal that would be awesome to see :) And great photos of it as always!

Thanks for all the nice comments and thanks Karen for choosing this Fisher as SOTD. There are so many wonderful photos from all over the world posted on Project Noah every day that are just as worthy to be chosen SOTD.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Great shots. Never heard of the Fisher before, so now you have shown me one. Thanks for sharing.
Don't have this animal in Illinois!

Congratulation Tom! Thanks for sharing..

Congratulations on this little cutie......

Such a cute animal. I never saw one before. I grew up on Mt. Diablo and if they are there I never got to see one!

Congratulations Tom, awesome spotting - as usual...

Congrats Tom, your unusual visitor is Spotting of the Day!

The fisher is a forest-dwelling member of the weasel family native to the boreal forests of Canada and the northern United States.
