From Wikipedia:
The fisher (Pekania pennanti) is a small, carnivorous mammal native to North America, a forest-dwelling creature whose range covers much of the boreal forest in Canada to the northern United States. It is a member of the mustelid family (commonly referred to as the weasel family), and is in the monospecific genus Pekania. It is sometimes misleadingly referred to as a fisher cat, although it is not a cat. Per the map in Wikipedia, it is not common to our area here in PA.

A strange name for that animal since it doesn't eat fish - I wonder how it got its name. Thanks for looking & commenting, Joe.
