And seeing a fox during the day does not mean they are rabid. The condition of the animal will tell you that. If they look healthy they are not rabid This is def. a fox, just heard the same thing outside my door. And seeing a fox during the day does not mean they are rabid.

I've seen red foxes off and on, so I'm sure this is what I'm hearing now that I have heard the sound at this sight. Weird thing was, a hoot owl starting hooting right after the fox made its sound when I was out tonight. It scared me as it sounded so eery - my dog barks at the owl sound, but she only growled at the screeching sound. Several months ago, (late Spring, early summer) I saw a red fox very early in the morning like he was late getting back to his den. He was thin as they all seem to be, but he wasn't acting wild or rabid. I fear these creatures because my dogs is a little dachshund and I have to literally stand out in my yard at night while she does her business for fear a hawk or owl might swoop down and attack her. It's fenced, but I've seen a red fox walk right by our fence and that's a little too close for comfort. I think this fox walks around my home all the time and I've heard some scarey noises late at night similar to this red fox sound. They can be loud - sounds like a woman crying almost. When he saw me one time - he quickly ran away, so I don't think he would attack, but again, I'm out there with my dog in the dark all the time just in case. Thanks for posting this sound!

I thought it was cleared up for me but I am still kind of confused. Thank you all though. I am sure I will make sense of it all eventually. Also thanks for giving me something so beautiful to think about as these wild animals living so close by. My world has been tough today and this has been great respite.

I live in the town of Orleans on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. I have heard this sound that I thought was an animal being killed by a coyote. There was one night I thought a woman was being attacked I jumped out of bed opened by window to /listen better but heard nothing. I wasn't sure what to do. I just saw a tan and white what i think is a Fisher or Fisher Cat. However, I have not found any pictures of any Fishers this color only the brown and black ones. Have any of you seen this? It looked just like the Fisher because I described it as looking like a fox with a fox tail and a cat face and ears, its body is long like a lion or a tigers and it has fat paws.

They were literally about two feet from each other and were looking at each other. I almost freaked out, but nothing happened. When I opened the patio door, the red fox took off. This did occur during the day time. I saw a coyote on Mother's Day, about 1:00 P.M., in front of our wooded backyard. The red foxes that I've seen were during the day time, but I also saw one red fox at night. Years ago my children threw some old cheese on the patio for birds to eat. A few hours later at night we saw a red fox eating the cheese. Last fall (October) our mostly outdoor cat, Mooie, was sitting across from a red fox.

She seemed to be staring at something in the neighbor's yard. I have heard this sound at night, but attributed it to a barred owl. Now, I'm wondering if it was foxes barking. We live in Hyattsville, MD. I've been watching this fox since she and her littermate were young kits in Spring 2010.

I thought it might be a fisher, although I couldn't see any thing. I looked in the web site and found that the sound I listen to on the site that it was a fisher. I've seem them around here in the day time, but I also seen red foxes too. I live in Tyngsboro, Ma. I was also was wondering in all the years I was growing up I was corrected not to call it fisher cat. I remeber reading in a book on fisher's the people thought it look and sounded like a cat so the name stucked. But I remeber as a kid I was told fisher not fisher cat, but I can't to seem to get people to just to say fisher. I know it a family of weasel and one it's favorite meal is porcupines. I remember reading also that it make a cat hissing sounds and it humps it's back hair like a cat that how it got it's name cat added to it. So is it fisher or fisher cat?
