This Was A First - Fisher Resting In Tree

 




It was a productive week making TC bear sets, I have the new areas finished and have made sets in prior year locations.

I enjoy hiking with a camera in hand as well as setting camera traps. Saturday morning a female fisher was seen sleeping high in a hemlock tree . It was overcast and dark in the clump of branches where she was resting. Watching patiently, it took about three hours before a sliver of sunlight reached the top of the tree. I was able to squeak out two halfway decent pictures, One with her sleeping and the other with a slight twinkle in her eye. No doubt this fisher had a den nearby with recently born kits.

This week more TC’s will be set out in hopes of capturing an elusive short-tail  weasel.
