They are all over the place, in VT in abundance.
Please also be careful with your cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, ducks and any other domesticated animals we keep... especially during fishers' chief hunting hours, dawn and dusk. They will also take a cat right out of a (screened) window sill. They have a cry like a peacock, some say a child...
...and maybe double check your tree hollows...tho not too close!
