2 Fisher (Cat) at the Beaver Pond of The Vermilon River

Note the claws which are partially retractable

More photos of this guy turned out well so he's back for an encore, and another little story. To ID this fellow I spent sometime on the web, and found out that these guys screech in the bush, and the sound will raise the hair on the back of your head.This summer when I was taking a rest on the cement abutment on the trail north of the east track, two rabbits bolted accompanied by the most awful scream and I think it might have been this fellow. I think I interrupted his hunt.
 In the same area, earlier that same week, a young fellow with his dog, who had been blueberry picking (both of them not just the dog), came tearing out of the bush, claiming something snarled and screamed at both of them. He thought it was a cougar. They've re-established themselves in this area. I think it was this guy or another one. You can find recordings of the screaming sound on the web.
