So we were riding through Acton on Pope Road between Rt 2A & Strawberry Hill Road, and for the second time in the month, found a Fisher running across the road in front of our bikes. For a mammal that is known for being very secretive & elusive, we've seen this same Fisher in the same place twice in a month.
Today he wasn't alone: he (its always a 'he' I don't know why - don't ask) stopped in the middle of the road when he saw us coming, and kind of prarie-dogged up to look at us, then turned around and ran back to where he came from. As he went over the stone wall and into the woods, two other fishers joint him bounding off into the woods.
Despite their il repute for munching on fluffy little kitties, these guys were beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And silent.
