[Tweeters] Fisher in Pacfic County

[Jeff Gilligan]

I will do a shorebird report in a few days, but this pertains to a mammal.

While walking the wide Martha Jordan birding trail at Ledbetter State Park, a large Fisher dashed across it in front of Nick Lethaby and me.   It was a big surprise.  It was the size of a small dog with a big very bushy tail, all dark brown fur, and rather short legs.  It was much bigger than the Mink that I have seen.  The habitat was large trees and dense salal and other bushes.
