WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?

Or should I say, what’s coming “out of the forest?” Some like chicken, and it seems that fishers do too. The fisher (Martes pennanti) is the largest of the weasel family and can weigh almost 15 pounds. I believe he has been dining on my chickens for the last 2 weeks. It seems that fishers have been increasing in population in recent years, since more people are reporting sightings of this animal. We’ll see how it goes.

May the forest be with you,
