screeching at moon

What the hell is in the woods behind my house screeching at the full moon. Blood curtailing screams. Some kind of animal.

could be an owl . I have heard them hooting at night this winter but what a sound. Could be a fisher cat although I have never heard one but I live in an area that would probably support them very well. It wasn't big fish as the thing was screaming not complaining.

There's a few YouTube videos of fisher cats screaming... can't imbed off my phone. Give them a listen, definitely blood-curdling!

I hear that once in a while around here at night. It must be some animal (perhaps a large bird) that's been injured and is dying? Not sure but it's really loud.

Arrow fisher cats

are known for climbing trees and jumping
out of them on top of their prey

Rabbits "when caught" scream like no tomorrow
and it's blood curdling loud

Cross a Weasel with a Badger and you have a Fisher Cat.......Nasty animals. Blood Curdling Screams.

They had one take up residence in the Courtyard in the building at the Elementary school here in Georgetown a couple of years ago....Kids thought it was the coolest thing....Moms, not so much

Funny, I never knew there wasn't a 'cat' on the end.

Last week I watched one run across the parking lot at work, at about 10am. Definitely unexpected.
