!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.
Please join us for this fascinating program about the elusive fisher, a member of the weasel family. Its name is misleading because unlike the closely related river otter, fishers seldom eat fish. Common names are fisher cat, black cat, or pekan. An important part of a healthy ecosystem, it was mostly eradicated from Connecticut due to overhunting and habitat loss. The population has rebounded since reintroduction, and they are doing well in the entire state. Paul Colburn, a certified Master Wildlife Conservationist, will present an overview of the fisher cat habitat, diet, behavior, reproduction, and current research efforts. Alert and secretive, the fisher is a rewarding sight to the wildlife observer.
For the poster and more info.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Lyme Library and the Land Trust. It is free and open to all, made possible with funding from the Friends of the Lyme Public Library.
