[Maine-birds] a mammal, not a bird

This early morning I retrieved a road-killed male fisher from the center line on RTE 1 near the Dragon Cement plant in Thomaston. The fisher remains are in excellent condition if anyone from IF&W has any interest in it. Through the years, this high speed stretch of highway has claimed at least one bobcat, numerous foxes and ground hogs, to name a few. I mention this sighting only because we get limited views of fishers, dead or alive. I recall one fisher in particular that lunched on a duck carcass at the far side of a woods lily pond.
