Last night Todd and I were getting ready to go to sleep and all of a sudden we hear what sounds like a child being tortured. It freaked me out and Todd did some checking, couldn't find anything, therefore, SHUT ALL THE WINDOWS!
We have also had something knocking down the bird house, and that happened again last night, but this morning I couldn't find the top half of the birdhouse. All that is left is the pole and I am too afraid to go looking in the woods!
I took Brynn to a birthday party today and was telling one of the dads about this and he told me that it sounded like a fisher cat. I haven't really heard of these before other than he sparked my memory that my neighbor told me to be careful at night especially if I have animals that I am walking because she had a run in with one.
I did some research and this is what they look like and a brief description from the web:
New England Fisher cats are one of the largest members of the Mustelid family, which includes species like the mink, weasel, otter and skunk. These are noted nocturnal animals and therefore very hard to observe. They are however active during both daytime as ell as night time and that too, mostly during the time just before sunset and just before sunrise, when it mainly searches for food. Their cry is similar to that of a high pitched one of a child’s and therefore can sound very eerie in the nights.
Creepy!!! I won't be walking any dogs late at night! Good thing I don't have one!
