The fisher, also known as the "'fisher cat," is a large, dark, long-haired member of the weasel family.

Frank DeSantis, of Baldwinsville, sent in this photo above a fisher he "camera trapped" in his backyard of his home in Clinton Heights off Route 370.

"My yard abuts a forested parcel with a small creek that is used as a travel corridor for all sorts of different critters," he wrote. "During prior winter walks at Three River WMA, I have come across fisher tracks, but never thought one would be making an appearance in my backyard."
