Fisher Cat, I wish I could see a picture of that. I saw a bobcat up on the bike trails in Peabody last year. If the cat had spots like a leapard (spelling?), pointed ears with black and white insides, it is a bobcat. I searched on "wildcats in MA" and up popped the picture of the cat I saw, a bobcat. Be careful folks, a coyote is dangerous but I would rather face 10 of them instead of a wild cat.

Don up in my former area they have the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness, NH, right by Squam Lake, and the only fisher I ever saw in all my years of outdoors was in there. And it looked basically like the cutest little cat that you know somehow know you'd never want to pet. That place takes injured animals found in the mountains and forest and then rehabilitates them and keeps them there for people to see. I agree I'd far rather come across a coyote out there than a cat type creature. But it would almost be worth it to get good photos!

We used to go up to Lake Winona quite often in the New Hampton/Meridith area. Loved it, but all good things end. I am sure you know the area. I know there are wildcats in Wilmington where the Shriners Auditorium is, they scratch the trees and that is not a kitty cat. Then I saw the tiny bobcat. Wildlife is funny. I was walking on the rail trails near the Middleton portion and a lady walking towards me stopped me, I guess a deer was following me walking behind me. Following me??? Wow, no danger just kind of funny. I walk fast, so the deer would not catch me :-). Good practice for when we get our Lynnfield/Wakefield trails. I hear the deer are all over that and the swamp. A lot of folks say these are "swamp" deer. They do adapt. Have a nice day.
