OK, the animal mystery is solved. Went outside this morning and saw a big black weasel-like animal hanging out in the woods about 30 feet from the house. It went up on its hind legs (just like a meerkat), looked at me for a minute, then scampered off.
I was surprised how big it was - this one was maybe the size of a fox or a bit larger. My first thought was that I was looking at a fisher, but starting to wonder if it might have been a wolverine.
EDIT - looks like wolverines are normally brown rather than black, and tend to live further north. I'm staying with "fisher".
Maybe I'll continue this in the "got coyotes ?" thread.
