Falmouth,in Feb. 2010.

It was way too fast to get a photo but I do have excellent photos of the =
prints, which have been verified by reliable third parties.

Hello All,
My son called me this afternoon from his truck in a new orchard he is =20
managing near Morristown, Kings Co,NS. 44.987921, -64.753974 He said =20
that he had seen a badger, I told him that they didn't live in Nova =20
Scotia. He has seen badgers in Alberta and Saskatchewan while he =20
worked in wilderness areas, he did habitat assessments and badger =20
surveys. This animal today ran in front of his truck and underneath a =20
large pile if poles that will be used to build a trellis for the new =20
orchard. He didn't get out of the truck as he believed it to be a =20
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 =20
article that was written by Barry Sabean a number of years ago, and =20
read the description to him. The two descriptions matched, and I then =20
linked him to a video of a fisher taken in Connecticut. He felt that =20
this also matched what he had seen.
He then told me that there had been three areas in the orchard where =20
he had daily seen groundhogs, but he now notes that they are now not =20
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
