Hello All, My son called me this afternoon from his truck in a new orchard he is managing near Morristown, Kings Co,NS. 44.987921, -64.753974 He said that he had seen a badger, I told him that they didn't live in Nova Scotia. He has seen badgers in Alberta and Saskatchewan while he worked in wilderness areas, he did habitat assessments and badger surveys. This animal today ran in front of his truck and underneath a large pile if poles that will be used to build a trellis for the new orchard. He didn't get out of the truck as he believed it to be a badger, and he was unable to take a picture of the animal. After he described the animal that he had seen, I looked up the article that was written by Barry Sabean a number of years ago, and read the description to him. The two descriptions matched, and I then linked him to a video of a fisher taken in Connecticut. He felt that this also matched what he had seen. He then told me that there had been three areas in the orchard where he had daily seen groundhogs, but he now notes that they are now not being seen. A fisher in the area would do well having groundhog dinners! How common are fishers, and have they been seen in Kings County? George Forsyth
