This is a forum for wildlife sightings in Amherst Woods. Our wildlife visitors include black bear, bobcat, coyote, deer, fisher cat, fox and moose. Some of our visitors are frequently sighted, while others, like coyote, are rarely seen, but often heard in the distance on the nearby Norwottuck Rail Trail.
