We have one right in our back yard in Byfield, Ma. It’s screeching at night is so close and intense. last night it was constant for over two hours. I wondered why they screech; is it most prevalent when they are threatened or when threatening? Does it mean they caught prey or is it a call to other fishercats? Does it screech wherever it goes or mostly close to home? Every night for the past five nights it screeches here. It sounds ominous and feels like being caught in a horror movie. Having two small dogs and a 4ft high chain link fence, how cautious do we need to be during the day? Thank you so much for sharing all this information and amazing pictures.

We live in southern Pierce County, WI and caught a Fisher on our trail camera (twice). I guess the Fisher Cat’s are following the Black Bears down, and extending their range.

I live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia ( Canada) and have heard this ungodly sound at night several times. It wasn’t until today that I now know its a fisher cat. Played the audio clip I found on the net and it matches what I have heard.

I live in Marinette County, Wisconsin. My husband has a picture of a Fisher on his motion camera. This is a first, as he has been putting the camera out for years. It seems on the picture the head is more brown, but the body and tail are black. I didn’t know we had them around this area.

It sounds like something dying from getting shot and a child getting murdered .
I have them all over my yard and I wake up to their screech every night like an alarm clock.
