they are like the eastern version of the wolverine. I’ve seen some here near as big as a fox. they have a nasty temper when confronted!

Yes, I have filmed a fox on this game cam as well and you’re right, pretty much the same size. I’ve heard the Fisher can be pretty nasty, but seem to be shy of humans. Haven’t seen one in the flesh. This porcupine den is a popular place, we’ve filmed coyote, fox, weasel/mink, skunk and of course porcupine. We removed 3 from here last spring but didn’t relocate them far enough away and they came back. Not sure what I’ll do with them this spring, getting nervous our Labrador will tangle with one of them.

Mixed signs of spring -
The Gold Finches are back and getting their summer color:
… but the Evening Grossbeaks still haven’t left:
This was the first year the Gold Finches didn’t over-winter here. They usually dominate the feeders.

First butterfly of season that I’ve spotted. Eastern tiger swallowtail on creeping phlox.
Also seeing some lizards which I believe to be an eastern fence lizard and a ground skink

Nice bed of phlox
That’s a single phlox plant I got at Lowe’s last spring. Didn’t realize how much it would spread in just one year.

[sigh] I wish mine would do that
They drink and bath daily in our bird fountains. Their diet is mainly insects and they leave our fruit alone.

Where did you get the trap? It looks pretty effective.
