We lost 11 of 13 year-old hens to a fisher last night. Make certain your coop is shut tight. Mine wasn’t. Found only (!) 5 decapitated hens, so we hope some (one?) will come out of hiding this morning. Take care…

We only have red foxes in Philly and the surrounding subarbs. As far as I’m aware, gray foxes don’t roam ’round these parts. We do have coyotes, though.

By the way, does anyone know what odor fisher cats give off? Because once it became nighttime, the area smelt like someone was roasting/grilling stale garlic with rubber kind of musk, which lasted from around 8 PM until 2PM (where the scent became undetectable like an hour after hearing that sound from the fisher cat).

I want to say that I heard a fisher cat tonight. It was on a tree branch outside of my bedroom and was making this eerie crying/screaming/squealing sound. I’m not sure how to describe it but it sounded like it was something being attacked, while also mating, while also sounding like a guinea pig squealing. At some points it did sound like some of the sound clippings that were posted on this site. It did leave the tree… it walked down the trunk of the tree, kind of like how a squirrel would, but this thing had an outlining similar to that of a cat– it’s body was maybe 18″-24″ long and had a bushy tail to it and it had short legs. It left the tree trotting, so it wasn’t running or limping– it was just walking away normally. I have heard their call before, but this was the first time that it sounded like a guinea pig squeaking/squealing, and also seeing the outline of it’s body. It was a really creepy experience.
Aside from being a bit more cautious of neighbors with their outdoor cats/pets and the feral cats that live in the neighborhood, should there be any precautions or actions that should be done? Are they even something to worry about, or should they be just disregarded unless they show unusual behavior where animal control should be alerted?

The sound in the video is a fox in my opinion. I live in Greene RI and have two foxes living in my vicinity. Hear this sound alot and last week I was awakened in the night with the scream right outside my window. Looking out, there she was, the red fox. She just kept screaming so I opened the window and told her to go away and she barked at me! Exactly like a dog. They have different calls. The sound in the video is just like the sound she was making right in front of me.

We have them in Arlington MA near Whipple Hill. Heard that awful screech for a couple nights, then found what looked like a Fisher dead in the back yard. I think a pair of foxes raising kits under the neighbors shed may have taken it out.
